Another 24 hours of spectacular sailing.... Light winds, calm seas.... Good thing this doesn't happen all the time or EVERYONE would want to be out here.... We will be crossing the equator today. Can we continue to send reports?

[s] Seas abating and winds have backed so making good progress now. And .. the current that has been hindering us has finally seemed to have gone away. The staysail has been dropped and secured to the deck as now back into genoa range winds.
