As I am rather pressed for time this morning this is just a brief report.  We continue to head east along the bottom of the developing weather systems to our north and which lie between us and our destination.  A mix of motoring in light head winds and some good sailing when the wind, which has been coming and going, kicks in from the NNW.  For the first time this trip the current has had a negative effect.
