Today dawned another gray day, with a brief rain squall that brought a few gusts to 30 knots. Not matter though, as the generally lighter (18 – 24 knots) conditions overnight allowed the seas to calm down and organized themselves. A few gusts are no big deal as long as Khulula isn’t rocking ear-to-ear non-stop. All weather forecasts point to lighter conditions over the next few day. Yesterday we baked our first loaf of bread of the passage, so there’ll be toast to go with the omelets Hughs chefing up this morning. YUM!
