[status] Smooth sailing at last! Wind and sea has moderated considerably. On a comfortable beam reach with suit of sails in 11-14 knots of ese wind and a 1.5-2 meter ssw swell on the starboard quarter. Forecast is to lose the wind by evening, as we enter the middle of a high pressure system; then we will set the "iron main." Still making decent progress; 815 nm to go. All is well on board.
