LONG WHITE CLOUD

We left South Minerva today at 1100 hrs in good south easterly winds @18-20 knots. We are making good speeds (8.3 knots on the GPS) and we haven't even got our genoa out as we figure we don't want to stress LWC and break anything on this our last leg home. Our friend Mike on Arielle is beside us to the east and a boat is on our track, behind us so we'll have lights around us tonight...something we are not used to at sea. Forecast is for lighter winds tomorrow so we want to make the most of the air while we have it. Could be a patchy trip with boats ahead of us doing quite a bit of motoring.
