[weather] SSE 15k, overcast skies, sailing with beam winds at 8-9kn
[status] Day 12... The seas are flattening, the wind is shifting and the current is helping. We just achieved 200nm in 24 hours, to the delight of skipper and crew. But what was quite entertaining today, was watching the skipper, eyes glued to the GPS, willing it and encouraging it to go to 10 knots of speed over ground. Tehani-Li complied, and the captain hoorayed. It was like watching your favorite team score!! Anything to entertain us!!
[END]
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
