The wind is getting stronger today which is not welcome news. I am in 20 kts now which sailing closehauled is not fun. I am able to just hold on to my northbound course. With the wind of course comes much larger waves which slows the boat down and makes it very uncomfortable. I have been making okay progress of about 120 miles or 2 degrees every 24 hours. The wind is STILL northeast!! The humidity has really gone up now as I approach the equator. I am getting the prickly heat again on my back but
am using measures to hopefully reduce it. I can see why people say that an ocean voyage like this is a once in a lifetime experience. Who would do it again?
