Over half way home

Another day of beautiful conditions today, after a quiet night under engine with very little wind. The nights are getting shorter as we head north and the twilight expands.

The fishing line is out, admittedly in 
a little more hope than expectation.

We have identified the seabirds that have checked up on us throughout the trip as Cory's shearwaters.

We are sailing close to the wind today, and have deployed both the genoa and the staysail to catch the light airs. We expect we'll need to put in a tack or two as the wind freshens and veers over the next 24 hours.
