A good night of sleep probably isn’t easy in any household with two young kids, but on a boat it can be nearly impossible. So we are even more happy than normal when there is no wind at night. The boat is so quiet we could easily forget where we … Read More
Looking for Shelter
The Coromuel kicked in last night as soon as the lights went out and within a couple of hours we were bow bouncing through the waves. Ouest, in the most uncomfortable spot on the boat, the bow, slept straight through it. The rest of us didn’t fare so well. In … Read More
