We had a Southerly shift abt noon yesterday which allowed us to sail due East with speed, now sailing with a reefed main and 1/2 genoa and doing a steady 7.5 kts and more in the gusts. Some rain squalls coming thru but otherwise gorgeous. Saw a Royal Albatross yesterday, came by to encourage us on. Big moon last night, a lovely pathway to sail down, T3 sliding along beautifully and all well on board. It's beautiful out here. Capt'n T
