[status] DAY 11 2525 nm to Barbados. Stbd wing and wing DDW sgl rf main and poled out jib, 7.0kts at 300T. We are absolutely loving these fabled "fair winds and following seas" ... such rarefied conditions, allowing us to make our best 24 hour DMG so far on this passage. The clear trade wind conditions are also allowing for some spectacular star gazing at night as we bid farewell to the southern hemisphere constellations that have been with us for so long. Meanwhile, our website has been updated to include our summary of impressions and adventures in St Helena. Pictures will have to wait until Barbados where we hope internet will be improved. St Helena is a truly unique and isolated destination, and highlights for us were whale sharks, vertical ascents, rich history, and of course the warmth of the local "Saints". Check it out at www.LaughterJourney.com Travels page. Thx A.

We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
