Everyone Fine! Weather is warm and sunny but with very light winds still.
 
We motored through the night as the winds had died away completely ("painted ship upon a painted sea" stuff). The winds now have started again but are still quite light. (8 kts). We are currently sailing under the Cruising Chute and making a steady rate of 4-5 kts. The forecast is for gradually increasing winds over the next few days.
 
Not much happening here. Ravioli for dinner last night with a wee glass of wine to celebrate reaching the half way mark. Don lost his hat overboard. That's about it.
