Update 9/6

Okay, so this update is a tad late. Yesterday was a day full of motoring (while hand steering) with a few sails up to see if we could catch any wind. Mostly, there wasn't any. Then, last night, there was a bit too much wind. We had to reduce sail area so that the wind didn't make us lean over too much, but that also greatly reduced our speed. It's always frustrating to have so much wind available and not be able to take advantage of it. Right now we are sailing (with no motor, yeah!) at about 2 knots (boo!), but we're headed in the right direction to hit the 145deg W longitude by the time we leave the doldrums (yeah!). So, we'll take it. Glenn's sleeping off the last of his watches right now, and then we'll see about putting up some more sail because now the wind is reasonable.

Our current position is 07deg 54.7' N; 145deg 07.8' W.
