Tonight I'm planning to sail Callisto from Mill Bay back to Esquimalt, with an overnight at Sidney Spit, and hoping for better conditions than the on-the-nose 35+ knots we had a few weeks ago. Forecast is for light increasing to 10-15 Monday tomorrow afternoon, which will likely still be on-the-nose, but at least should be a bit more comfortable. Just in case, I now have a second reef ready to go, and my friend from Japan is along for the ride, so it should be fun.
We filled up with fuel this morning, and I was a bit surprised to learn that we used 42 liters since that trip. I suspect 3 hours of motoring into the current and wind used more than the normal amount of fuel, as total hours was only about 15. (although hour meter is also suspect - it seemed to be stuck for a while...) -- Shawn Wright [email protected] S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto
