[status] 1350 nm to St Helena. 6.0 kts at 277T, port close reach, sgl reefed main plus jib. Sure is peaceful out here in the Atlantic. We entered solid cloud cover last night, and since then the wind has varied from 8 to 20 kts. We are just sailing what we get, sometimes really slowly, sometimes at a nice even 9kts. Only a single ship in the last 24 hours, we have likely cleared most traffic. All well on board.

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