Going slowly under sail deliberately 2/3 knots. And doing some maintenance today.
Weather charts show an increase in wind later. We are conserving fuel for later in the trip when we will need it. We can either go faster under engine today get across the Kara sea and to the NE Passage sooner, or go at this slower speed under sail and still wait for an opening. That said, when we do get wind later we will be going much faster than if we were to use the engine.
