06.30am we are cruising along in a broad reach under full main and reacher. Seas have flattened off a little and the motion much more comfortable. Great crew morale, freshly baked blueberry muffins for morning tea. Loving the warmer temperatures.

| Mackerel skies and mare’s tails - a sure sign weather is coming 3pm we have sited Atlantic City on the horizon. ETA Gibson Island tomorrow evening. Our watch system has been 3 hours on and 5 off with an hour either side overlapping. Effectively we only spend 1 hour on our own. Very doable through the dark hours of night time.  Cup of tea and crumpets on the poop deck!  It’s 7pm, we’re on a broad reach, port tack sailing past the silhouette of Atlantic City on the horizon in calm conditions. A wonderful end to a special day. |
Always great to see a tightly knit crew! I’m glad you’re watched aren’t too lonely—K
