[status] DAY 25 483 nm to Grenanda. Stbd broad reach sgl rf main and staysail, 7.5kts at 300T. You know it's a long passage when you are twice passed by the same tanker. Ten days ago the Malta flagged tanker Brighteagle passed us northbound headed for Aruba. Last night she passed a mile to our starboard headed south bound for Buenos Aires. A big ocean it may be, but apparently it's not hard to encounter people you already know. We are now starting to think about slowing down so as to arrive at daybreak on Thursday but we push thoughts of landfall out or our minds for now to avoid jinxing the outcome. Speaking of jinxes, no bread was baked this morning and no problems arose. Sophia's logic course says that this is not good logic, but we are sticking with it.
