Last night an absolutely beautiful sunset introduced us to a very pleasant, calm and warm night. Finally, as the grib data had forecast, this morning the wind increased to a more or less stable 10 kts and we turned the "iron-spinnaker" off and set on a reach coarse following the rhumb line. Forecast are for wind to gradually increase to 15-20 kts from the East later tonight.  Blue Note favor lunch, Mahi-Mahi served with rice and Pinot-Grigio.
