Still under jib only.  Wind light and sea calmed down so not too bumpy.  Wind on stbd beam.  Cruising along slowly so as not to get too far north before Tuesday.  Forecast still predicts winds of 40 knot gusts at 35N.  Hopefully I'll get a bit less and only for a few hours.  Even more weed around today.  I have just reversed a wheelbarrow load off the keel.
