San Diego to PV '08: Day 2, Morning

A VERY difficult night. Winds from all points, but rarely above 5 knots. Lots of sail changes, but it's all good when you listen to roll call and see that you are doing well!!
It's always an interesting 3 hours prior to roll call. It's your daily report card, and when you have not seen another boat for over 10 hours you can invent all sorts of imaginary ways that you screwed up.
So, we are outside of everyone, and apparently in more breeze. The shift that we were hoping for came through over the past 4 hours and we are now on stbd tack and heading just about for Pt. Cedros. Perfect planning or blind luck??? Who knows??
The shift should continue, we just put up the code zero in 7 knots of breeze and practically doubled our speed. Spinnakers soon!!
More later!
