Things are still going very well out here in the middle of the
\nocean. We really got lucky with the weather window – the winds
\nhave now picked up nicely so we are cruising along at between 6
\nand 7.5 knots consistently. Seas still nice and gentle. Beautiful
\nsunsets and sunrises out here. Lots of shooting stars. The tiny
\nsliver of a moon rose last night at about 4:00 a.m. – bright
\norange over the horizon and smiling just like the Cheshire cat.
\nThis is really perfect sailing.<\/p>\n
We should arrive in Minerva in less than 2 days. Will have to slow
\ndown tomorrow so we arrive at the reef after sunrise.<\/p>\n
