More good sailing today aboard VALIS. Mostly steady winds, sailing 000 magnetic all day. Visited by tropicbirds and a booby, these hung around for several hours. Passes a 60-ft power boat (research?) heading for Hawaii. I couldn’t make out their name. We’re getting ready for light and changing winds up ahead.
Best, Paul / VALIS
