[status] All well. Winds today have been lighter than forecast. Had the kite up for a while until the brace shackle gave way, then relegated to motor sailing to keep speed up. Need to average about 7kts to arrive in good time Friday. Breeze has picked up a bit now, so back to sailing with full main and jib, no motor.

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
