Monday 20 July
340 nm east of Block Island
What happened? I got up last night for the mid-watch 0000-0400 and put on my coat for warmth for the first time. It had been so cold the night before. I relieved Adnaan and went on deck. Within minutes I took off the coat. It was actually warm, in the middle of the night! Today we have been in summer attire, single short sleeve shirt, shorts. Cockpit shower. Air temp 84 degrees, water temp 76 degrees. What happened?
Beautiful sailing today, some of it up in the 6's. Now we are sailing with poled out genoa very comfortably at 5.0 knots. Sailing is so peaceful. . . .
