This is the second email today.

sat loc
35.49 n 151.30 w
Like magic the predicted winds came up about 1:30 am.
Light from the South, so very difficult to steer dead down wind, we can't make anymore
easting until we get up to about 37, then we can steer NE and run up between the H below us and the Low coming in above us., too far Norht is a Gale, so we have been sailing since 1:30 not fast, 3-4 kts but saving our engine and fuel for the H and getting in.
Today is AJ,s birthday, started off with a good pot of coffee, our first since Hawaii, he has a few issues about birthdays, so we will do the emotional dance today.
bye all
