Nice day of sailing

Today has been a really nice day of sailing. Early in the morning we
had some squalls and rain which washed away some of the heavy coating
of salt we acquired two nights ago. Since then we've had 10-20 knots
of true wind roughly on the beam. The seas are down and everyone is
up and around, feeling great.

JB set the speed record today at 11.2 while being serenaded by Jerry
Garcia, I was second with 11.1. We cranked off a steady 9-10 knots
for about 7 hours, but now we're down to a more leisurely 7.5-8.5.

We've got 90 miles to Bermuda and should arrive in the early hours of
Tuesday. Fay is fixing haddock for dinner!
