The dreaded "shutdown"

Well, here it is, the no-wind time... we've been sitting at zero boat speed for the last hour.... drifting to Subic thanks to favourable current, at half a knot. At this rate it'll take till Christmas to get there...
Wind not expected to pick up until tomorrow night, so it'll be a long night and a longer day....
We've taken the mainsail down to the first reef, simply to stop it flapping round, harming itself and banging on the backstay.
Nice dinner though - beef bourguignon (courtesy of Arlene).
