Unfortunately the special ended last week, but I had sushi anyway. My sever, Joel, invited me to listen to local music tomorrow night. I was back at the house by 4:30 to do my last load of clothes \u2026\u2019the clothes off my back. I am not likely to see another washing machine for 5 months. I went to sleep earlier than usual and slept until 4:30. After my tea, I finished packing. I was able to pack about 95% of the stuff in the bags I had, and I was at the dock by 7:00. I took five trips to the boat to unload the car and I was back at the house by 8:00 with a few empty bags to gather the last of the stuff \u2026 and to take the last freshwater bath I will likely see for the remainder of the trip. I soaked for almost an hour, as if preparing myself for the jerking I was going to experience in the saltwater during the coming months. I was back at the boat by 9:30. The wind was still relatively light, so I installed the mainsail. I struggled for quite awhile to secure the pins in the tack and flew, but by 10:30 I was finished. I organized the V-berth area and cleared out some food that I will not eat (donated it to locals). I worked on the boat until 15:00, then got a shower and something to eat. It is dust and I am going to sleep.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Current Position: 34 02.971\u2019S 18 20.883\u2019E; Timezone: UTC+2; SOG: 0; COG: N\/A; TWS: 40; TWD: 182; Current Speed, 0 kt; Current Direction, 0; Distance to Waypoint (Hout Bay): in a slip; Total Miles Sailed: 16487 nm; Engine Hours: 388; Estimate Fuel: 5+12+50; Comments: Feeling productive today, I stopped work at 3:00 and went to the &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/2025\/12\/07\/check-in-december-7-2025-1800-utc\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Check-in December 7, 2025; 18:00 UTC&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-captainslog"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2185"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2185\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
