Ijmuiden – Amsterdam Arrival July 27, 2009/0 Comments/in Blog post/by KenThe last day is always the longest – there is no way to make a boat go fast. Any way one looks at it – six to eight miles an hour is slow.
Tuesday update from Ken July 21, 2009/0 Comments/in Blog post/by Ken“Sailing is hours of hoping to go faster followed by spurts of pure chaos.”
Sunday Update from Skipper Ken July 19, 2009/0 Comments/in Blog post/by KenFirst low wind day on this leg. Winds have been less the ten mph all day. Used the spinnaker to keep boat speed up – averaged maybe five knots and then finally the wind disappeared as the high passes over us.
