We believe because Gautam prayed for forgiveness to the Tuna God and we all prayed to the wind God, after motoring north 2 nights and one day we found wind. It came rather sudden. We had the light air spinnaker up for a while and the wind swung around so we took the spinnaker down and put up the large (150) jib. We are sailing close to the wind now keeping up speed and our northerly direction. Our course is about 70 degrees true. Not as far north as we want but we are sailing! The boat water is much cooler, about 62 degrees, the sky is cloudy with occasional sprinkles, and the temperature is in the 70's.
