[status] 0545 29 Msy 2018. Had a wet, busy and tiring nigjht. Drizzled much of the night, just enough to keep everything wet. Busy gybbing back and forth across the rhumbline because the wind was directly behind us, and still is. Tiring because the boat rolled heavily making sleep difficult. Don't let anyone tell you having the wind directly behind you is good. Wind is southerly. Most of the night is was 15-18kts which helped keep the sails full and not flopping and snapping in the rolling motion. But around 0430 the wind dropped to 10kts and the headsail couldn't keep full unless we sailed either due west or due east. So it was rolled up and on came the motor. For past hour we have been going the rhumbline for the first time since leaving Minerva Reel.

[weather] Southerly W 10 kts. 100% cloud cover. Sporadic drizzle. 2 mtr Sourtherly seas. 1009 on the bar. COG: 345T. SOG: 5.8 kts

Forgot to give a sealife count yesterday:
Dolphins = 0
Flying Fishi = 0

Other than being tired, all is well here.

Cheers
