[w]TWS 15 TWD 239T Baro 1011.1 Sea Temp 21.3C. Air temp 21C. Fog. West swell. 2+ kts of NE current.
[s] Turned right towards Dutch Harbour as should be clear enough of the high. Moderate fog but amazingly consistent winds from the SW all day. Predictwind current data shows a strong band of favourable current so we are following that giving us a helpful 2+ kts of push. An easy motion on the boat so we took the time to catch up on maintenance. The kid seized a dynmea chafe sleeve on the staysail halyard while I did some more indepth rig, engine and autopilot checks plus other odd and sods maintenance that needed doing. Over half way there by mileage: 1390 nm to go !

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
