Glorious sailing. At 0100 boat time (we are now 1 hour difference to the US) the wind had dropped to F4 so we shook out two reefs. Beautiful starry night with scattered puffy cumulus. No rain or squalls since yesterday morning.

Wind NE F3
 
The wind this morning has been very patchy in strength and very shifty in direction, associated with the thermals forming the scattered puffy cumulus around us. Rene is just about to hoist the spinnaker to give us a little more speed
