Happy Birthday Dad!

Yesterday (Friday) my Dad turned 84. Hopefully my less wayward sisters did, or are planning to do, something nice for him. All I can do is wish him a long-distance Happy Birthday!

We have purposely slowed down for a bit. We had been driving Columbine pretty hard, maintaining 6kts or better day after day. Now we are tired, and tired of the constant deluge of water in the cockpit and running down the decks that this kind of driving brings, not to mention the "Chinese Fire Drills" we go through every time a squall hits, which has been frequent. Tonight we will let her jog along at 2-2.5kts while we rest up.

Out current position as of 2150 local time is 10deg 37.5S 149deg 23.1W. Our heading is still due North.
