Still trying to sail again after another 3 hours of tractor – wind almost dead on the nose but at least it’s there for the mo. Amazing Egret has stood on the foredeck under tacking #1 – has real sea legs and just sways with the boat’s motion on those huge feet. Don’t know what to do about it – it will surely die if it stays with us, but it doesn’t know how to leave and won’t go. Still have thunderstorms around us. Propagation abysmal so may not be able to send this for perhaps 24 hours
