\nComments: I had to remain alert last night as I passed through shipping lanes. At one point I had to thread between two 700\u2019 cargo ships that were off my starboard beam. The closest of the two, Federal Infinity, communicated well via VHF and passes a half nm to my stern after adjusting his speed by half a knot. About 2:00 an alarm went off. The wind speed had dropped to 8 and backed to the NNW. The wind vane was struggling to keep the boat on course. I switched to the TillerPilot. I left the reef in the main but relaxed the main sheet and set the preventer. The boat had slowed to 3 kt. I confirmed I had cleared the bow of the tanker STI Brooklyn, which was 10 nm off my port. I turned off the Iridium GO and fridge to conserve power until dawn. It was a good call to leave yet reef in. By 3:00, wind was back up to 17 and the boat was going 6.5 kt in a dead run. In the morning I was greeted by a beautiful sunrise and 13 kt winds from the NNW. Sea state was relatively calm. I cleaned one fish and six squid off the deck. I reached the halfway point about 8:30 (110 nm in 20h, so averaged 5.5 kt). As it did yesterday, the wind and waved kicked it up a notch early afternoon. The forecast is for continued 15-20 kt winds through tomorrow, putting me at San Benedicto before dawn. I put a second reef in the main, shortened the Yankee, and made a new waypoint upwind and on the leeward side of the island. I should make the waypoint about 3:00, with another 4h to the anchorage.
