[position] 30 53.707S 174 17.316W
[status] Frustratingly light winds last night and today (and probably until much later tonight); in a ridge of high pressure covering a large area. Low we have been watching will pass to the east and south of us; that's the good news! Other than being tired of hearing the engine (and worrying about all those fossils we are burning),"All is well on board!"
[speed] 5 kts (motor sailing)
[heading] 045T
[weather] Wnds ESE 5; seas - 2 m SE swell, wind waves slight; 80% cloud cover; bar 1017.64, falling - last 3 hrs -02.0.
[END]
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
