[status] 390 nm to St Helena. 7.0 kts at 315T, stbd beam reach, sgl reefed main plus jib. Gorgeous day here in the S Atlantic, following a mostly uneventful nightwatch. For the first time in 5 nights we had no major squalls and wind shifts, and we could see the stars. Good to see our friend the Southern Cross again. We are enjoying true trade wind conditions and everyone, especially the crew, are quite pleased. We three took an extended deck walk this morning and lingered for about 30 minutes enjoying the gentle motion, flying fish, sunshine, blue blue seas. After lunch we plan to put the fishing line in to see what's up below the surface. Crossing fingers this wind holds for a bit more.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
