It's looking like a beautiful day weather wise. The sun is out, the wind is showing signs of veering to the W and NW and we've survived our first night offshore. We are currently motoring due to the light wind conditions on our nose, but in the last 24 hours we sailed 13.6 hours and motored 10.4 hours. We expect to be able to sail as the wind shifts and picks up a bit later on today.
The over night watch shifts have taken their toll on the crew, but with today expected to be somewhat light, we should all be able to get some sleep during the course of the day. Otherwise, the ships chef has been keeping the crew well fed and all is good. Next blog post will be made tomorrow at 10 AM.

Thinking of you on your second overnight... Disorienting and tiring as it is, there is something magical about offshore passages. Wishing you clear skies on watch, with the waxing moon and a multitude of stars to light your way.
