Remarks: Sunday at sea. The wind blows 20-25 knots with the sun breaking through making it a wonderful sailing day. Seas still quite large but some sign of things laying down slowly overnight. Sunday at sea, all hands just chilling out. We took in the main lower topsail briefly to stitch up a seam that was splitting. Clara did the job good and proper.
