Calm night with very little wind.  Wind slowly coming more from the North, more forward of the beam.  Nice sunrise but no extra wind strength.  Clear skies again so the solar panels are very happy.  No issues with power and I only put the big 110w panel out, if needed, to top up the 2 x 50a batteries.  Starlink is the biggest consumer of power - about 3 amps.  Rationing my data usage so the 50 Gb I pay for will last a month.  YouTube chews data, and it's easy to get distracted.  Funny to be shopping on Amazon from the middle of the Atlantic!  I saw my AIS position marked on Marine Traffic, a "satellite position", no name of the boat, but it matched my actual position exactly.   Comforting to know that my AIS is transmitting.
