Been sailing all night close hauled in 15 to 20kts of apparent wind. The seas are fairly confused and the motion a tad interesting.
The genoa furling line parted at dusk, seems to be the opportune time onboard for a problem that requires being on deck. Doubly annoying as it was a brand new line chafed through. It took an hour and several good dunkings on the foredeck to first get the sail furled and then install a replacement line. It was necessary as it has been reefed for the entire time since.
All quiet on the spotting front just an infite grey sky and a grey sea.
