It turned out our decision to stay was a wise one–another boat who did set out had squalls with 40 knots… This morning it was still squally, but according to the forecast we’d have to leave or get fickle winds on Wednesday (which was supposed to be a good day to leave…). We wrangled a bit with the pros and cons, but in the end we motored across the lagoon against a howling squall (poor Leeloo got seasick still in the lagoon), made it through the pass in good conditions and once we were out the sky brightened and we’ve been sailing steadily all day long. Leeloo’s already up and snacking again. Two lures out, still no fish, 260nm (out of 290) to go!
