Just wanted you to know that things are going well. Winds are still from the NE which is helping us to get all our easting done early. We're going between 4-6 knots last night. It's a bit uncomfortable at 6 knots beating into the wind, so I'm trying to keep Adventure at about 5 knots. Was windy and uncomfortable this morning, but it's calmed a lot since then.
Tim was pretty queasy yesterday, but has perked up a lot today. He wouldn't go below last night and he snores really loud, so I hope he'll feel up to it soon. Fan broke in Casey's cabin, so I need a fix. It's too hot otherwise. Dad's lost the squelch knob on my brand new VHF radio, but he's doing well. He exclaimed today, "I want my mommy!" He settled down after I slapped him.
Speed: 5 knots
Wind: 10 knots NE
Course: 88
Waves: 2-4
