Remarkably, very little has changed. Wind and sea state continue to be ideal and have touched neither trim nor helm since 7am. Just cantering along at 6.5 to 7.5 knots, no rolling, and about 5 degrees of heel angle. Very comfortable. Settled into 2 sleeps a day now, topping up the 4 to 5 hours per night with a three hour nap each day, so sleep deprivation is not an issue. So easy when the weather is benign. Long may it last?

Wind 8 to 12 knots on the beam, calm sea. Just cruisin making 6-7 knots under full canvas, everything eased. Trying to stay awake in the hammock.
