Not much wind to start with. Andrew's son Oliver took this photo of us, with photobombing seagull, trying to get out over the sandbar with an almost non existent northerly.
One we got out near the reef, the wind switched round to southerly and filled in for a nice sail. I was testing my new gopro 7 that Santa brought. 4k generates wacking great files and my computer can't cope. You change one thing, then a host of other changes that you had imagined are suddenly required. De Quincy observed much the same thing in the 19th century. The moral is, be careful what you change, or perhaps even better, don't change anything.
I am indebted, in many ways, but in this particular instance, to the inimitable Webb Chiles for this link: https://sailinganarchy.com/2020/12/24/92013/
I like the idea of sailing to a destination, turning round and coming back. Not quite "sailing to nowhere", as the article describes it, it is more purposeful sailing without the destination being the main driver.
