Well, it was a dark and stormy night but one which we flew through using mostly 160 ft2 of sail - a triple reefed main and the staysail. The squalls sometimes came at us at 15 minute intervals. When rain is pelting you in the face, the wind generator is screaming and the boat is bashing through the blackest of waves into the blackest of rain clouds, it's hard to imagine for a minute that squalls are good for the earth, but of course they are.
It's still cloudy this morning but winds are very light, seas are lumpy and we can see clouds in the distance dropping their payload on the sea. Here comes another one! Here's hoping the ITCZ receeds east once more...one can always hope. ;-)
At 5/22/2012 and 18:32 UTC (GMT) our position was: 04°45.28'N / 171°33.33'E.
We were traveling 182T degrees true at 2.7 knots.
