[status] On passage Falklands to St Helena.
Departed Port Stanley at 1500 this afternoon in SW 30 knots coming from Antarctica. The wind has moderated now and we are running due North under full Yankee and double reefed main, the latter because we are wary about big squalls coming through overnight. Morrocan lamb for dinner. I am taking the first watch while Ana gets some sleep, thankfully the downwind start has not brought on the sea sickness. Unfortunately tomorrow we are expecting a frontal trough which will bring some strong northerlies for a time and then she may not be so bright. Anyway, good so far.
[speed] 6.5 knots

[weather] Wind SSW 15 knots. 1.0m swell. Sky 70% cloud. Baro 1022,

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
