The wind has been our friend. We are still speeding along between 7-9kts. in 8-14 kts of NW wind. We hooked up the windvane today and it has been steering beautifully, saving us the electricity the autopilot consumes. Our first 24-hr run was 190-miles (!!), which is a high precedent to set; one which we're not sure we can continue to meet. But we're excited to try! Everyone on board is feeling almost 100-percent. No traffic except for blue-footed boobies trying to land on the boat.

Hope you take a picture of a blue footed booby! Cyndy
