Can't get much better than this.  The captain and crew are holding up well and don't even seem to mind 3 days of eating warmed over casserole of some sort or another for dinner.  The highlight tonight might be freshly cooked pasta.  Woo hoo!
 
We expect to arrive in Galle, Sri Lanka next Monday or Tuesday.  Bruce says we shouldn't run into any nasty weather in the near future, but the winds are going to get light and perhaps go in front of us tomorrow.  Ah well, we'll worry about that tomorrow.
