Kelpie is belting along in this steady force 5 breeze on her starboard quarter.  The 24 hour day's run is 165 miles which is an average of 6.8 knots.  We frequently see 8+ knots on the dial.  With two reefs, Kelpie does not seem unduly stressed.
 
Weather is brilliantly sunny with a big, lumpy sea which is quite tiring but otherwise spirits high..
 
No wildlife to report and we are going way too fast for fishing
