November 17th

Day three is always a good day. Our bodies get in tune with the boat and the swell of the ocean. The feeling of sea sickness goes away and you begin to get your appetite back. By tomorrow we will feel really normal. The winds have dropped a little but they are perfect for us 15-20 kts. The seas have also dropped to 8ft. Our speed has picked up to 8 kts and the ride is very comfortable. Sail configuration, We have the third reef in the main and the first reef in the Genoa. The skies are clear and the temperature is 75 degrees. The nights are starting to get cooler and within the next two days we will be wearing long sleeve shirts during the day and our foul weather gear at night with multiple layers under neath. We haven't been in cool weather for over six months so I think this will be a shock for us. We have really enjoyed Tom and Chantal ,the stories they have are amazing. They had one crossing that should of taken 35 days but the wind died and it took them 67 days. They are true cruisers and we are having a great time with them. Position S 23 28.859 E 175 01.750.
