Day: April 7, 2013

Our trip has been somewhat delineated by the turn to go east (or slightly before) – the big waves/more wind than you want section, and the amazingly flat/wind from the beam or rear quarter section that has had us flying along smoothly.  We’re really enjoying the sailing we ‘ve been able to do this second part of the trip.  Making hot meals at the stove is easy, we’re not turning green at the thought of wrestling our foulies off for the off-watch, and the air temperature is so much nicer (30+ knots from behind at night kept us really cold the first night).
