[status] Started out Tues with SE wind 20 knots, sea 1.5 meters from the
S, about 8 sec, sunny above, black clouds in front of us, averaging 6.5
knots.  In the afternoon, we went through the trough with rain storms to
the north and south of us, but we only got sprinkled on once and did not
hit any squalls.  By sunset, we had wind 24 knots, and seas 1.7 meters,
on our beam (not very comfortable).  By 10 pm, the clouds were
completely gone and the full moon was shining bright.  Except for the
uncomfortable sea, it was a glorious night!

This morning is a nice sunny day. About 400 miles to go. AGOB (All good
on board).  More Later G&T
