Steady as she goes
Wednesday, July 2, 2014
As of 0500 this morning, about 275 miles to go with yesterday's travel about 177 miles, probably a record high for this boat under sail.
We are going mostly downwind with magnetic heading of about 340-350 and making 7 kts. or greater for most of yesterday and last night. Sail combinations have included; main and mizzen alone; main, mizzen and poled out jib; that combination plus a mizen staysail; and main, mizzen, and asymmetric spinnaker.
The seas have built in concert with the wind with 8 foot rollers behind us and winds of up to 25 kts behind us on the port quarter.
Dinner last night was Canada goose stew and breakfast omelets were served this morning.
All crew functioning well together.
