After an exciting day of sailing from the Bahamas and into the Gulf Stream, we finally pointed North and started really cruising with 8.9-9.2 kn in the Gulf Stream. Averaging 3 kn of current, and with the motor on, it felt fast and smooth. Wind is light, 2.5 - 3.5kn

Josh suggested I should try sleeping on watch to get the fell of what it is like to be solo. I couldn’t really do that until much later, 10pm. At that time I had been up for 16 hrs straight. There’s so much to see, I want to soak it in. Sleeping and you might miss something really cool. 

I slept well though. About 6 hours of sleep which feels kind of normal in relation to 3 on, 3 off. 

I’ve learned a lot with Josh’s teaching style which I will apply to my own. It is humbling to be a learner. I’m so many aspects of my life, I would be viewed as a master or pro, but not here. I am constantly taking it in and listening regardless of the delivery. Something I’ve become aware of during this journey.
