Aloha everyone, hope this finds you all doing well. We finally got into some consistant breeze a few hours ago and have been making good progress, The weather gribs confirm some moderate winds for the next few days. It is quite pleasant now, making 6.8+kt with no water on deck. Our mileage was quite low yesterday, but that does not reflect all the tacking we did. I'm sure our miles will start to increase. last nights watch was one of my worse ever. It had been okay, but as soon as I put my foot on the companionway steps, the jib backed and it went downhill from there. there numerous rain squalls, wind up down, right left, jib sheets got tangled on foredeck twice, requiring trips up there both times. Can't complain about tonight though, very pleasant so far. Crew doing well, Cathy feeling better, they made brownies tonight. Hopefully, the latitude numbers will just keep falling away and we'll be home soon. Aloha, David
