[weather] Grey, confused seas, SW 15-20k
[status] Day 4... We are sailing, but at what cost? Finally turned the engine off late yesterday afternoon. And spent a busy night trimming, tacking, reefing as winds shifted and currents slowed us. And our 24 hours run today was 87NM, not a lot as we seem to loose ground with the adverse current. We knew this might happen. At least we are sailing.

The sea is the same as it has been since before men ever went on it in boats.
