[weather]fine with 20% cloud cover. 16knots E. Half m se swell.
[status]We sailed all night apart from a couple of hours where we motored because the wind had died and it was coming from behind. Fortunately the wind moved around to the east and now we are sailing nicely with 16kn (beam on). The most comfortable we have been since we started out.

[status] 0545 hrs 30 May 2018. News flash. News flash. News flash. Just after sending last post the wind went enough SE and gained in strength to 13-14kts that we could turn off the motor after 25hrs and put up sails. We are sailing! Can't believe it. I can actually hear myself think.

Another milestone. We passed back over the 180th meridian where tomorrow is today, yesterday never happened, and the future is near.

Cheers
