Last night we blew out the clew on our mainsail (the clew is the back lower corner of the triangle that holds the sail to the boom). As in all good sailing stories it occurred at 3:00am. This leaves us with a main that can only be used reefed down (made smaller, usually for high winds). For most of today we have flown our asymmetric spinnaker as the winds have ben light. We have just dowsed it for the evening and to be able to point higher.
We have not committed yet whether we will head into Bazaruto to wait on weather or just continue on toward Richards Bay. The forecasts have been in lots of different directions but not very strong. We'll need to commit tomorrow morning.
Happy Halloween!
Paul
