In Opposition.

   Yesterday: We battled a strong opposing current all day. Although the boat maybe moving through the water at 5 knots, the body of water we were in was traveling in the opposite direction at 2 knots. Result, speed over ground 4 knots; the nav. equipment measures our speed over ground. Pictured: Dal up the mast trying to pick the current.

  'It can only get... worse!' Late afternoon on a very slow, windless day the motor announced it was not happy! It was a fuel problem. Three more nervous hours got us into a very dark Trial Bay; motor gasping for fuel. It was a very unpleasant night at anchor.
