No squalls last night, and weather is expected to be settled, albeit windier, for the next couple of days. Approximately 285 miles down, and 1720 to go. All is well aboard.

It has been another slow day. While being shaken and stired, we have watched the rolling mountains slowly loosing their snow caps and become hills. We tried a few things to aim higher north, but the sea state is still too rough to beat into it. We are now trying to sail parallel with the sea without picking up too much speed, which really is a tricky thing, but we found a good balance.

150nm run for day! A bit frisky at times
but sea and wind are both in right
direction, so great progress. May
even clear Cape Reinga by 2moro
eve.
