Making excellent progress but having to work a bit harder.  Squalls coming through since the middle of the night with 10 knot wind increase.  All across the Atlantic and in the Caribbean the squalls were just 5 knots so easy to accommodate.  Other close by still struggling with low winds.  We are getting a base of 10-15 with the squalls at 25 knots.

I was enjoying hand steering in the night when they came through and Giselle was sitting at 9 knots for long periods.  No rain in the over night ones which makes them invisible to radar.  Mary read the ones today spot on and we reefed neatly in time to be down below for the rain.
