[weather] SE wind 8-10 knts, sea 1.5 meter swell, SOG 5.5 knots under
engine, COG 270T, 0% cloud, bar 1013

[status] We had a bright red sunset while we ate dinner - Indian dahl,
rice and nan bread.  Red sky at night; sailors delight - we hope!
Overnight we lost our wind and this big fat whale needed to put out a
flipper to continue on our path.  But, what a beautiful night at sea
with a full moon. About 240 miles to go.  AGOB  More Later - G&T
