Ship's Log:
We have been making excellent time with these idyllic winds. Our daily view is of a clear horizon, light cotton balls for clouds and endless schools of flying fish taking flight as we approach. Again a steady 8kts today. If this keeps up we should have a fast passage time for this leg. Grace is doing very well running all of today under full main, fore,jumbo and jib. We are now reefed down for the night and still making good speed. Below you can hardly tell the boat is moving. As well the boat is well balanced allowing the helmsman to steer by two or three spokes only.
All on board are content and enjoying this time at sea.
