Excellent day of sailing with almost 10 knots average boat speed. We
have 20 knots apparent wind at 110º off port.
Mostly sunny, although a bit cool. This will be the first crossing
where I gain weight. Austin is cooking 3 major meals a day. Roast
chicken and potatoes in the oven now. Although if I keep typing much
longer, I won't be eating my share...
Sea has been beautiful with waves the color and shape of a Hokusai
painting. If we can keep this up tomorrow, we will have no problem
arriving in time for a clearance on the 16th.
That is all.
