[status] Messy day as a trough passes. Strong squalls, motorsailing upwind, not much progress made. With such a great run so far and boats to the east of us getting clobbered, no whining allowed on this boat.
[heading] 70T
[speed] 3.0
[weather] Wind NNE 14. Seas NNE 4.5M. Baro 1013 and steady. Cloud 100%, rain heavy at times.

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
