Day 2 on the open ocean -

It is a lumpy one!  The wind seems to have just petered out. Now for us, bouncy is nothing like a mono-hull, it is just like a roly-poly anchorage. Our biggest concern is of course that the other boats are beating!!!

So last night around 3:00am there started this unusual sound. Kind of like when you rub a balloon with your hand. So after a brief search it was determined that there were no balloons being rubbed, but the boom had become disconnected from the mast.  Not so good. Cassidy and I tried to get it hooked back up, but with the rolling of the boat, and the movement of the boat, (the sail was still up) it was not happening.  So we called in the big guns, but Loyal must have been sound asleep because he never showed.  Fortunately though with Shannon's help we were able to Mickey Mouse it together.  Then enjoy the lunar eclipse, and back to bed!

We now are in cloudy weather, with light rain every few hours. We are running just under spinnaker.
