The day started off with moderate winds and we were making good progress. However as the day continued so the winds continued to drop. Speaking to others on our long range radio everyone was having the same trouble so at least we're not alone. The wind is also swinging between NE and SE so everyone is having to alter sails and adjust the auto-pilot, at least with our windvane steering we don't need to do that (it keeps us at a constant angle to the wind the whole time - it doesn't matter this far out at sea if our heading is 10 degrees or so off where we want to go!). In the night the wind dropped further and swung around the N! We are now sailing under main and spinnaker at 6 knots.
