Good Morning from Sauvage

Yesterday we got a nice start in 8-10 knots of wind off of Point Fermin. We enjoyed flat seas and were able to lay almost the west end of Catalina on a single starboard tack. Just shy of the west end we tacked to port with Wind Dancer and Between the Sheets nearby. The wind gradually to lighter and lighter for the rest of the afternoon and all night. At 7am this morning we are 15 miles due south of Anacapa heading on a course of 260 hoping to find the wind on the outside soon. Right now we only have (gulp!) three knots of wind and that's been the case for much of the night.

Dinner last night was Brian bowtie pasta special, followed by Liz' apricot cookies. The cookies were a hit. Thanks Liz.
