Reminder that flags fly forward or sideways when under most points of sail, not streaming backwards like so many paintings.
We’ve found the wind, unfurled the canvas and are back sailing on a starboard tack towards Japan.
After two days of nearly becalmed winds we’ve furled all the sails and are motoring for the first time in several weeks.
Another night watch begins. Haven’t seen any other ships or even airplanes in two weeks.
Unfortunately one of the stun sails chaffed against the lower topsail yard and required a new patch.
