Oh yeah, this is the kind of sailing that makes you quickly forget all the uncomfortable and arduous days. The wind has settled down to a perfect strength, the squalls are fairly mild, and it was actually sunny today. Our 24 hour run wasn’t the greatest cause of some fluky winds overnight, but we’re cruising along now. We’ve seen much less flotsam today, which is nice, and will trawl again tomorrow. The last of the cow milk was finished this morning, we’re down to rice milk and hemp milk; hopefully we arrive in Maui before a mutiny. Date: 3 July 2010
