Great Sailing

We have been so unbelievably fortunate with the weather. The fleet ahead and behind have been complaining of squally conditions and higher winds, while we have had near perfect sailing conditions for the past six days. Ten to fifteen knots on the beam, four to eight foot gentle swells, cloudless nights, no squalls at all -- I know I've said it before, but it doesn't get much better than this. In the past four days, only one of our noon-to-noon runs was less than 150 nm. One of them was 165 nm -- a new record for us.
