Wind Abaft the Beam

Posted on: August 8, 2017

A swift moving low pressure system is dominating our weather for a few days with rain and strong sailing. We have been cruising along at 6 to 8 knots with the fore sail, staysail, and storm tri-sail. Wet and soggy conditions, but the crew is in high spirits because the wind is abaft the beam, and we will be at our anchorage tomorrow.
