After having sat idle with no winds for a good 10 hours, we are finally underway again with a course towards Bermuda. The fog cleared out mid morning and we did have sunny skies until the wind arrived... and new fog. But we are moving now, ever so slowly, which is better than doing donuts all night. We were literally drifting in circles all night. No fun. Especially not in thick fog.
While crossing the traffic separation lanes last night, we heard from a container barge, which was closing on us fast. We got out of the traffic lane real fast.
Meantime, my Hydrovane wind vane is working perfectly. Love it. Highly recommended.
Judge by what I have seen on iboattrack.com early this morning, the entire fleet has been dealing with no wind. While we were the last boat to exit the bay, I found all of the others, shown fairly close-by. I have added a photo of the nightview from last night.
