[status] Day 45... It's like "Ground Hog Day" but that was up until a few minutes ago. The squalls came in this morning, washed the boat down well, then took all the wind with them. We sat and bobbed in the waves. Tried the spinnaker, tried changing course, nothing would get us moving. So we sat there and like yesterday, waited. And surprise, the winds came in sooner than expected to the skipper's delight! This means we will cross the International Date Line today and lose tomorrow? I mean skip a day! So Sunday the 20th won't exist in our lives or maybe just a glimpse? Doesn't really matter, as we are getting closer and closer every day.

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.
