Until today it has been pretty pleasant cruising but today the winds have been up and with them the sea state. Much of this morning a close reach in 25 knots plus and a fair size wind swell giving us salty decks and some care needed moving about the boat. We expect the wind and sea to moderate a bit overnight---hope so----but nonetheless it is time to abandon the main bed for the sea berth.

Overcast skies, but warm and humid as wind is in the south as opposed to the NE yesterday.

All well and still eating good!
