Winds have dropped to about 10 knots from just east of North as predicted. They should continue to drop further and clock around to the SW over the next half a day. Normally that would be like pulling teeth for us sailors, but we can use a little break to catch up on some things like sleep and solid meals (especially for Vince). So it'll be motorsailing for a while as this wind dies, some sort of stbd tack reaching for a while, then more motorsailing between systems before the NWesterlies kick in again for the sprint to the finish. If you look at a current weather map of the eastern Pacific and see a big "L", that's where we are right now. The big difference between now and our earlier motorsailing spells is that it's now damp, dreary and chilly. But that's ok, we knew it was coming....and thank goodness for good foulies!

Maybe we'll finally have that ahi sushi this evening...
