Plenty of squalls overnight would have us ripping along upto 12 knots then nearly becalmed banging around in the swells waiting for the wind to fill back in. Still running a storm size jib and double reef main. Definitely looking forward to any point of sail other than close on the wind.
Still heading due north and currently within a few hundred miles of Wake Island which lies to our west.
Moving forward I plan to post just once daily. Our position report to Yotreps (call sign WDF2150) and this blog update will hopefully both go out at noon local or 0000UTC
That's it for now.
