latitude 38 and slllllowww

9/16 local 1950
N38 06 W148 39

Confetti's bow is pointed right at the Golden Gate Bridge! Except we are 1,200nm west in 4-knots of SW breeze. We turned off the engine this morning and have been sailing all day, wing-and-wing at about 3 or 4-knots. We're trying to decide if we should use more of our fuel now or wait. The forecast is for pretty light wind for a while, so it's a hard decision.

It's a beautiful night out here and we just finished dinner. The sliver of a moon from a few nights ago is turning into a beautiful sight in the evening, that will conveniently be full by the time we get home.

George's wife, Stephanie White, is tracking our progress with her Meadow Montessori high school students. We hear they are getting to go out sailing this week. Fairwinds from the middle of the ocean!

Projects and appetizers.
