We started motoring through the NW corner of the high yesterday early morning around 0300. After 27 hours we made it to the north side and are now sailing again with SW winds. So, we’ve turned the corner (the barometer has dropped 4 mb in the last 12 hours) and are headed east. We are going wing and wing in 15 to 20 knots.

Sailing toward the sunrise.

It’s not all “downhill” from here though. We’ve got a low pressure system to the north we need to avoid. It looks like it’s going to dissipate before getting to us, but it’s going to leave some “dumpy” weather in its wake including some adverse wind directions and maybe fog. Ugh. Oh well, welcome to passage-making. You take what you get and make the best of it.
