[status] We had a slow but pleasant day of sailing yesterday under 6-8 kts of wind until sunset when the wind shut down to less than 5 kts from behind (SSW). We saw mostly 1 to 2 kts overnight so we motored until sunrise when the wind picked up to 6 kts and shifted to the ENE. At present, we are sailing very comfortably to weather on course for S. Minerva under beautiful sunny skies. Wind is continuing to build slightly so we should make some good progress today.
[speed] 6.6

[weather] Wind 7-10k from 100 T. Seas calm. Sunny skies with 5% cloud cover. Bar 1017.

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.
