At 1200 today we were at 26 40N 076 59W steering 040M, beam reaching under single-reefed main and full yankee at 4.5 knots. It was hazy and partly cloudy with low puffy cumulus clouds. The wind was 8G12 from the SSE. We had just passed through Man'o'War passage into the Atlantic Ocean.

| Motoring across a glassed-out sea |
It's now mid-afternoon and we're motoring. The wind is predicted to go around to the SW then W tonight, but so far it has only died, leaving a glassed-out sea and a short 1.2m SE swell. The predicted 1 knot SSE flowing current is actually 2kt or so. Oh well, we're donking along with the air in the cabin at 35C. Our instruments say the water is 39C and the air 30C.
Here's hoping this evening's wind eventuates.
Trust you're cool where you are!
A great time for Nicki great cooking before the wind comes in. Thinking of you both xx
