March 13, 2014 Trade Winds
We have reached the NE Trades! Bounding along in 16 knot breezes, broad to beam reaching. Excellent fast sailing. Also crossed the Tropic of Cancer today, so we are officially in the tropics! 70 degrees in the cabin at night, and we are cutting the legs off our long pants. Unbelievable sailing conditions.
