[s]Second day of trade winds, just a light 8knot ENE, and fantastic sailing. Yesterday was spent repairing a small tear in the mainsail. 4 broken needles later we finished the job with an embroidery needle. Like digging a tunnel out of jail with a teaspoon. We have lost power to the autopilot ('Wally') so hand steering. About 300 miles south of Minerva Reef (S) - another 48 hours maybe. All well aboard.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
