Good Wind Holding

15 August 2010
Crew
The good wind has continued unabated today - averaging about 23 knots from the southeast. As a result we have had our best day so far, logging 177 NM. It is of course wet sailing in the cockpit. The low pressure system to the west is getting closer and a cold front just went through. We are all putting on socks and long pants now.

We are taking a course of 145 T at 7 knots, heading for a way point at 49 N and 140 W which we hope to reach in 2 days. We have logged almost 1,600 NM to date and we estimate 1,000 NM to go. The weather forecast is looking favorable at this time.

We saw a couple albatross again today
