[status] Day 27... Coincidentally it is our 27th wedding anniversary today. We are also between our 1/2 way point in time and our 1/2 point in miles (tomorrow night). On top of which our 24hour run at midday today was 195nm. For all those reasons, (not that we need any) we popped the bubbly and enjoyed an afternoon with snacks overlooking the blue horizon. For the uninitiated, 195 miles equates to about 215 miles on land. About 9 miles/hour!!! So I can imagine a land lubber's dismay at our joy at this accomplishment. Trust me for a small sailing yacht, this is great speed. Something to brag about during happy hour with fellow yachties...
