Importance: Normal
It looks like we will have another 200 mile day, with our location currently N 17.29 latitude and W 31.39
longitude. Swells were more normal during the night and sleep was quite a bit easier.
Today we had a cracking sail with 20 knots of wind, full main and mizzen up, with the yankee flying forward,
running before the wind. There are few things as cool as surfing down the front of an ocean swell in a 60 ton,
wooden yacht. Bequia in her element.
It looks like our first challenge may be light winds coming by Monday. Tomorrow might be a good day to fly
the spinnaker.
