Drifty Sail in the Jav

It was a beautiful sunny and almost windless morning - the conditions in which M was prepared to risk setting out with me in the Jav. We had a nice drift down the cut but the wind was too feeble to get us to the Point so we drifted around the committe boat. A highlight was seeing Juno on the move. We let her go out before us and we had a goood view of her hoisting sail int the pit. We tacked off up the Cley Channel and then came back via the Northeast Passage. Ironically the wind had picked up by then so we may have been able to get to the Point. Fortunately the wind had veered sufficiently for us to get back on one tack.
