We started picking up a northeast wind this morning, so we took the awning down and raised the main, setting the preventer and the whisker pole up for a run. We are thinking that this was not really the doldrums after all, but rather just a lull in the trade winds, as we experienced our last day before hitting the Cape Verdes. Later on today, Eric is going to fashion a bracket to reinforce the broken stanchion joint on the bow pulpit, to prevent further damage before we get it welded in Cape Town.
