[w]Wind 14 kts from 170 deg true. 20% cloud. Slight sea with 2m SW swell.
[s]Departed Minerva Reef at 12.30 Monday as part of a mass exodus (only 4 or 5 boats remained there). Steady, if slightly rolly, downwind sailing though the wind reduced a bit overnight. Spinnaker to be launched soon! All well aboard.[END]
The sea is the same as it has been since before men ever went on it in boats.
