WIND avg 10 ENE COG 275 SOG 5 RUN 148

We gybed yesterday afternoon to get some north back into our position. Overnight was mostly 10 knots of wind peppered with a few squalls maxing at 30 knots for 20 minutes or so. This morning it's rain and either no wind '4 knots', or 20-29kt squalls. Raining and generally overcast, 25 degrees which our endless summer living has conditioned us into thinking is quite chilly.

Cooking bug still on, the girls made Hawaiian pizza last night from scratch.
