[status] Happy Thanksgiving, from West of the Dateline! Although there will be no roast turkey with stuffing or baked ham dinner with all the trimmings for he crew of Bright Angel today (but that is not to say we don't eat well on board!), we will spend the day reflecting on our many blessings; we hope you do, too. We continue to enjoy excellent sailing conditions, with blue skies, plenty of wind (so far, anyway) and no squalls. We did experience a short-lived lull in the wind yesterday (9-11 knots) and a pesky west setting current that has fortunately taken its leave. Bright Angel is moving along smartly, with all her sails a flyin' - only 341 nm to go to Bay of Islands! All is well on board.
[speed] 6.5 - 7 knots
