[status] Winds are behind us for a while now, so our boat speed is down a bit; broad reach, not our best point of sail. It sure was "empowering" though, on a close reach, when we had to reef just to slow the boat down to 6.5 kts (to avoid bashing into the waves)! We hope to have those conditions again a couple of days. Had a great Perseid meteor shower display last night; saw some really spectacular meteors, including one that was a bright orange streak that seemed close enough to reach out and touch, and another that was much higher up and white that left a very visible trail a long way behind it! Fantastic. Today, the sun is out, things are relatively calm, so once again "All is well on board!" Thanks for following us on YIT!
