[status] Had a good run yesterday doing 5 - 7kn under spinnaker with SE trade winds, but 0.7kn current against us. Current seems to have gone now and we've been motor sailing since taking the spinnaker down at about 1am. I've just seen the wind pop over 10kn, so perhaps more sail up when Shayne comes on watch in 10 mins. Its so nice and quiet when we turn the engine off, and start gliding across the ocean.
We've been having absolutely amazing sunrises and sunsets. Our cameras are full of bright oranges and pinks with dramatic fiery clouds!
Plan for today: find some wind, keep chipping away at the miles, and catch a fish.
Cyrus tweaked his ankle on deck yesterday, resulting in an impressive and graceful commando roll onto the trampoline. Voltaren is back in use. Aside from that, all well on board.
318 miles to go.
