Sailing Nicely

We're approaching a week aboard and all is well. The wind gradually filled in and we had a night reaching fast, north of the rhumbline, to keep the apparent wind. This morning we switched to our downwind rig of poled-out stingray.

Our 7th crew member, Wendy, also started to do some work after, frankly, being a bit lazy for most of this week.

Our rivals on Truenorth are quite close ahead, but the fleet has thinned greatly over the last few days with only 2 other boats visible on AIS
