===========ELISSA Captain's Log: 12 noon, Sunday, August 2nd, 2026===========UNDERWAYDawn has Elissa gently riding to her anchor, as before, off Ft. Jefferson, Dry Tortugas. A delicate wind wafts across the anchorage and occasional lightning illuminates scattered rain squalls approaching from the SE.It is time to set about getting underway. Last night’s cinematic fare was upgraded from Finding Nemo to Master and Commander, so the crew is especially pumped as they emerge on deck. The plan is to sail off the hook. Though light, the wind’s direction is favorable.As breakfast concludes, the anchor chain is heaved back to one shot (90’). Tops’ls are loosed, and the main yards braced square. Then it’s back to the windlass, with relays pumping up chain link by link. When the anchor’s aweigh and clear, up goes the inner jib backed. The bow begins, very slowly, to fall off to starboard. The fore lower tops’l is set aback, and the wind begins to shift easterly. The bow falls off a little more then stops. We need her to fall off a good deal to clear some shallows and make our northerly course. The wind shift has us hung up. Rats! On comes the “d”sail to swing us around and get us on our way. More sail is added as we wind our way through the flats. Shortly after clearing the shoals bordering the NW Channel, we’re sailing into deep water under double tops’ls fore and main + the fore course. The engine is secured, and we’re making 5 knots. Let fall the fore course.A happy lunchtime crew celebrates being under pure sail for the first time since crossing Massachusetts Bay on the way south. That’s a lot of motoring!“Shrilly squeal the running sheaves, the weather gear strains,Such a clatter of chain sheets, the devil’s in the chains,Over us the bright stars, under us the drowned,A long pull, a strong pull, and we’re outward bound.”- from ”A Valediction,” John MasefieldPhotos courtesy of JB Smith.Cheers,Captain JB Smith==========POSITIONING==========ELISSA at 12 noon (EDT)Total Distance Traveled: 4213nmPosition: 24deg 44.6’N; 82deg 53.8’W Course: 330M, the rhumb for Pensacola Speed-Over-Ground: 3kitsWeather: Sunny with haze, Hot; Wind SxW force 2 ...
