Slow very slow
What can I say. Lets see. 1st we left Port Lavaca at 0640 and we arrived at Matagorda at 2157 or 9:57PM Very long slow day. The engine over heated the port jib sheet got stuck in the wench and I had to cut it at the clew. No jib sheet now and they were brand new. My wonderful Duralast battery is sitting at 11.5 volts. Adventure of a life time Hell no a horror show of a life time. The engine doesn't have the power to even push her to hull speed even under sail. All we could get under sail was 3.7mph healed over at 20 degrees. That hole in the hull was sucking water into the bilge. The list is getting longer and longer.
