We left out of Baddeck at 10am yesterday and it is now almost 24 hours of (motor) sailing later. We were very glad we waited the extra day in Baddeck while a low passed by because even though it was out of the area we had some pretty large swell left over hitting us. We had ourselves a very rolly night and I'm not sure about the other but I had an horrific sleep trying not to roll from one side of the bed to the other, this is when a king size bed isn't the best on a sailboat. I awoke this morning to snow capped mountains of Newfoundland, glorious! Not too sure on the plan today, we are finally able to sail with out the motors and are dead downwind moving at 6kts, this will put us into Little Port at 10:30pm tonight. We've been into the port last year and is pretty cut and dry but that said I'm not too sure if Carl wants to do that at night. Maybe the winds will pick up a little more and we'll make it there in less than 15 hours, that would be nice. Time to thaw out some ground beef, spaghetti for dinner tonight.
