[weather] wind 2-5 knots seas smooth with an easy swell . Clear sky with high cloud

[status] mmmm this is starting to feel like a long journey ! Wind y/day veered from light SE to light E - even worse ! We came within 12 nm of Surreal but I suspect Alan put the iron horse on and took off like he did at the start while we bit our lip put up the screecher and sailed about 1 Knt below wind speed which was all of 6 knots with a VMG that wasn?t great. During the night dropped screecher and got real and motored - still motoring today trying to get to the top of the next low so we can get sailing again. Think Surreal is about 38 nm ahead this morning - be nice to be sailing again by this afternoon.
Otherwise another day at the office - lines out - no fish yet but Greg has the teasers out and is getting serious so fingers crossed.
