Running

With the wind almost following our track, the options are either to
hoist a gennaker, and gybe to avoid going too farr south into the high,
or to go gooze winged (if you have a pole!). I decided to go gooze
winged and gain some terrain to the north. The dyneema backstays show
wear from the main near the top of the mast. Hmm. I have to watch this
carefully. Everything around the mainsail seems to cause trouble, but
that is my own fault because I did only try the sail a few times before
the race, in stead of testing it over a longer period. Good winds
and good speed during the night. I treated myself with the luxury of 30
minute sleeps in stead of 20. All well on board Home of Jazz.
