[weather] 10kn from 080 true and lumpy conditions which started this morning. NE swell and confused wind chop from various directions.
[status] The day has gotten progressively choppier since this morning, which definitely puts on damper on our sailing. Steering a slightly higher course to get some better apparent wind. Small puffy clouds around with the occasional thunderhead. Full moon on the rise. We were greeted by a large pod of maybe 50 dolphins at 1500 hours. They came leaping to the boat from both sides of the boat from seemingly great distances and played in our bow wake for a while. Absolutely delightful!
