hello from the Chilly north.. yes.. water is 18 and air in the 60's last night on watch i even wrapped myself up in a tarp.. sun out today we are thawing out and yes we have changed course this am for the home stretch.. as with this angle we should make a nice passage. and speed let me tell you we have been hitting with all reef in to 7.7 most in high 5s to mid 6 s so maybe if we get a week of this we will even take the cold as will put us in close to out.. 38 day mark

hot meals again.. tuna cassarole .. chilli etc.. puddings.. so we keep some meat on our chilly bones..
