[status] Motor-sailed most of yesterday with full sails. Late in the day there was too little wind to fill the gennaker so we took all sails down and motored through the night. Fortunately the sea conditions are great with a long following swell. On the down side, we are getting negative current set at the moment about 0.5 knots.
This morning we have turned motor off and able to sail slowly with gennaker and full main. Hoping the wind strength improves soon as getting worried about fuel running out, forecast indicates that at least tomorrow it will pick up.
On comms front we are annoyed to realize that iridium texts sent to us don't seem to be getting through anymore, since a couple days ago. Outgoing seems fine. I have no idea why this should happen, my only guess at this stage is there is some obscure limit in our airtime contract that I'm unaware of. We have the unlimited data plan so it should not be a problem.
[speed] 5.5

[weather] 10knts SSW 1.5m swell from the S 20% cloud cover.
