left at 10 am this morning - one of the first boats out but we have been soon caught up by larger boats and cats. gorgeous still morning with little wind to start so had to motorsail until 2pm when the wind picked up from the east and we have been on a comfortable beam reach since then going a good 6 knots. Saw some dolphins as we passed nine pin rock on our port side. Both feeling well and Neil very hungry - on a mission to eat all our provisions as quickly as he can! Had some delicious Christmas fruit cake which went down very well (Thank you Mom, it is delicious!).
