Great wind all day and a knot of current for most of the time.  RECORD day’s run of 180 miles, that’s an average of 7.5 knots.  The weather files (GRIB files) have us holding in the better wind for the next few days.  Boats behind will have less.  The swell we get here has come all the way from the storms in the roaring forties so are coming from the south or south west.  You can see the swell coming across the ocean on weather files like the ones in www.passageweather.com (link on the RHS of blog)
