[status] DAY 19 1560 nm to Barbados. Stbd broad reach sgl rf main and jib, 7.1 kts at 285T. Fingers crossed, the ITCZ and its nasty weather are in our wake. The NE trades still have a lot of north in them but are expected to veer and strengthen a bit over the next few days. Meanwhile we are making good progress toward Barbados and are taking advantage of the comparatively smooth sailing to grab a little relaxation. Boat school is back in session.

A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.
