[status]Yeehah, we are not wearing socks or slippers - well not during the day anymore. We had a good day's sailing yesterday and an even better night last night. Haha, boys will always be boys! As the swell picked up they decided to turn off the autopilot and take the helm to surf the waves to see who could get top speed. Hugo was the 'winner' with 16.8k. The sky was rather black and ominous looking at sunset, so we reefed the main in the event of the odd squall, and just as well! They marched through around 2-5am, just when Captain Kangaroo was on watch. 520nm to go to Ile de Pins. all very well on board.
[weather]15-20k ENE. Swell 2m 95% cloudy.

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
