[s]Woke up to a grey day with 100% cloud cover. Motoring into light winds
from west with reefed main, waiting for front to pass and wind to pick up
from east. Very different from the sunny days we've had so far! 270 nmiles
to Coff's Harbour which is now our destination unless there is a drastic
change in the forecast. All well on board.[END]
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
