My grand son was born yesterday!Mama Jo Papa Matt and baby _nox are all do1ng well! Welcome l1ttle boy to th1s beau1ful planet. May your l1fe be sweet and full of wonder.

We went to sleep on a calm ocean last nght... We do not motor at nght as we have seen some large balls of web and l1ne out here...the wee hours brought us some SE breeze so we sa1led NE t1ll dawn...the w1nd gradually veered to S lght a1r and then left us altogether so we motored north agan to try to get a b1t off the path of these h1ghs movng through...(though at least they are on the move now)...the SW has held up ths afternoon and we are movng along n1cely...trade wnd clouds stll above us but fllng n w1th larger clouda as the a1r mass ga1ns some mo1sture. large bands of crrus run west to east and f1ll the northern hor1zon.

We wll cont1nue north untl at least lat 35 ...tryng to fnd some reasonable wnd to ta_e us east. Thans for all the wx nfo...much apprec1ated all that you do W1zard. Many than_s also to Lesl1e and L1onel.

The young albatross was wth us aga1n today...he landed on the water bes1de a wander1ng plast1c buoy heavy wth growth and loo_ed for food.

All s well on True Blue We send our love Al1ce Cate and Pam
