Its Day 23 since leaving Ascension and all is well on board. Last night, a rough uncomfortable night but the day brought a change and we were treated to sun and a smoother surface on which to sail. It was water-making day today - whenever there is a lull in bad weather, its a good time to go up front and put some water 'in the bank'. Also, since the machine is very hungry for power, I make sure I have plenty of sun shining down on the 8 solar panels. Now as night fall comes, I am in a hoping mood... for peace and quiet...but I see waves mounting.
