===========ELISSA Captain's Log: 12 noon, Monday, June 29th, 2026===========STEERING BY THE SAILSJust a quick one today as we sail ELISSA north along the New Jersey coast towards Sail4th 250. I thought I’d share a little explainer regarding the way that our course is listed below in today's data. There are different types of the “course ordered” for the person at the helm. When ELISSA is maneuvering in restricted waters like a channel or harbor, the quartermaster may be given landmarks, such as features ashore or navigational aids like buoys, to steer for. Most of the time we give compass courses to steer by, and at times like these there are “sailing commands.” This last category tells the helmsman to keep the ship in a particular orientation to the wind. Our current course of “Full & By” means the ship is to be steered as close to the wind as possible while keeping the sails Full.Regards,Captain Andrew Ellers ==========POSITIONING==========ELISSA at 12 noon (EDT) Total Distance Traveled: 2078nmPosition: 38deg 58' N x 74deg 19' WCourse: “Full & By”Speed-Over-Ground: 2.2 kts.Weather: Sunny; 5-10kt wind from NE; seas 1-3’. ...
