[status] Motoring north towards Minerva Reefs. We hope to get there before strong northeaster winds develop. A beautiful full moon rise just after sunset in clear skies all night. Light chop from NE breeze. Half-way through batch of departure brownies. Cabin 22.5c & 72% RH, very comfortable. All is well aboard.

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
