At 0800 UT this morning, it's just getting light.
Possibly our best night so far. The weather was near perfect; proper trade wind
conditions with 16 to 18 knots from the north east, warm clear starry night at
first, then a huge full moon to illuminate our ath.
We took the kite down afer supper last night to
make the watch keeping and sleeping more elaxed, but have still covered more
than 100 miles since then, which is close to the 7.5 knot pace we had on average
last time we did all this. This time of course, we are not racing, though in an
email from Win2Win yesterday, it's clear there is some kind of private
competition!
Today is shaping up to be another good day, wind is
around 14 knots and the kite will go back up after breakfast.
Everything is fine here. We are both getting enough
sleep and the balance and routine are settling well.
