Back to our first to leave last to arrive status π the 10-15 knot wind never arrived and we were stuck bouncing around all day. Swells were tame with the odd one every so often. Net struck our prop and Pete braved the 12,000 depths while we bobbed a measly 1.3 knots and cut us loose. The foot of our main has a nice 8 inch tear that came about today. Likely with the constant back and forth of the boom and now on our to do list. Stunning and calm anchorage greeted us at sunset and we had cobia swimming under our hull. Time for some grub and some rest!!
