Remarks: Wind fills in overnight to a force 3 as we cut the water at 4 knots. Clara and Lyra work on getting the mizzen staysail bent. Dirk continues to repair the main t’gallant staysail. Many seams need a sewing! Zoe and Jeremie lay up the rigging to oil the royal masts. Sara, Spring and Toad work with the sextants to get an afternoon sight. A couple tropic birds keep us company as we sail along on a beautiful day with nice breezes and small seas.
