A full day of reaching in 12 to 16 knots, seeing a very consistent 7.5 knots of boat speed. We!ve Made 86 miles in the last 12 h so hould easily make 160 miles again for the 24 h. As we prepared for dinner the wind freshened to 24 knots in the gusts and we put in 3 reefs and rolled away two thirds of the headsail. Boat speed was still 7.5 knots. We are about to swap charts on the chartplotter, replacing the ?Asia and South China Sea? charts with ?Africa and the Red Sea?!
