Wind picked up in early hours of the morning and I was sailing too fast under jib alone so I dropped it.  Just drifting along with tiller lashed and doing less than 1 knot.  Movement of the boat very uncomfortable with no sails up to steady it.  Frustrating having to stop and drift when there is a good wind from the stern but can't take a chance of running into the depressions.  Did inventory of remaining food and have enough for 25 days without rationing.  Also found my missing tomato sauce!  Getting some hazy sun from time to time which is charging the batteries slowly.  I like to have a reserve before spending time on Starlink.  Spend most of my time jammed in on the floor reading.
