Remarks: We sailed from St. Helena yesterday afternoon. Sailed off the anchor. The lights of St. Helena disappeared over the horizon before sunrise. It was quiet this morning, everyone settling into being at sea once more. The winds are light and warm, it feels like we are in the Caribbean already. The new fore topmast stays’l is out on the quarterdeck ready to have grommets sewn into it followed by roping and cringles. Varnish and painting is underway. Edmund has tended to the fishing gear and both lines are out. Here fishy fishy!
