Ruben's Report:
Ruben is doing okay. He was feeling a bit frustrated - first by the lack of wind, and then by too much wind today. This resulted in a couple events while flying the spinnaker - but he recovered and everything is fine. He's flying twin headsails now for a while and looking forward to reaching the halfway point soon.

Fleet Report:
(Wildflower) Post rollcall chat was off the mark last night, with a discussion how best to dispatch a chicken for the cooking pot. Perhaps there is a need to schedule an appointment with the fleet psychiatrist.

(Carroll E) All's well among the flock. The "small" boats are all huddled within a 20 mile radius, herded by the crook and allure of the rhumb line. The menacing star has started making its regular appearances, boosting general crew morale as well making significant contributions to the electron bank and solar shower.
