[status] 688 nm to St Helena. 6.1 kts at 302T, port dead down wind, sgl reefed main plus poled out jib. Lots of overnight squalls again, shifting and altering wind strength throughout. We are sailing as aggressively as we can as it looks like we will be becalmed in 2 days. Because we need to save our diesel for the remaining legs across the Atlantic we will not be motoring. Lots of make and mend days ahead for us!

The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.
