Extremely slow sailing yesterday and last night.  Only excitement was the trigger fish eating my barnacles.   We did many 360 degree turns and in the end I lashed the tiller and went to sleep.  It was so calm even the sails were not flopping from side to side.  As has happened quite often the wind picked up at sunrise and we are moving again.  Speed between 2.5 and 4 knots.  Still beating, and pounding again in the building chop.
