[status] real mixed bag of weather, spent time on all points of sail yesterday in fluky winds and very confused sea with huge SW swell, wind steadied last night and had an easy night but got current against us, trying to work back up onto continental shelf, forecast looks good for rest of trip, 400nm to go to Daw island ( off israelite bay)

The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
