Conditions were much stronger today, with winds 25-30 kts and seas up to about 12 feet, but we have been very comfortable onboard. We spent most of the day outside, chatting and getting some little projects done. Had a delicious coconut curry with tofu for dinner. It's easier to do a lot of things now that we aren't heeled over 20 degrees all the time. Now we are riding mostly flat (thanks to our downwind course, finally), but now we get a continuous rolling motion and an occasional big roll when the waves combine just so.
At the suggestion of the WeatherGuy we have changed course to a more easterly direction to avoid some stronger weather that would have enveloped us on our previous course.
Our current data:
Date/Time: 9/22 2100 HST

COG/SOG: 080T @ 5.5 kts
