Well I didn't get everything I wanted for my birthday but when it comes to gifts at sea I'll take what I can get. The wind has turned on our nose (as expected) but remains light so even though we're beating hard into the wind the seas are down and it's not too bad a ride. This is supposed to keep up for another 24 hours and then lighten and turn more South. Both of which help us. We're making ok progress and are happy for our AIS unit which showed us three ships last night, long before we could see their lights.
John, Linda and Ziggy.
