Dear Sea Gods

Just a quick note to most humbly request a change the wind direction.  Please change it to west to east, as this will greatly facilitate Code's passagemaking from Bermuda to Lisbon.  While we understand that trying to 'make time' is breaking the first rule of cruising, we hope that he can leave for the Azores soon.  We are grateful for your having exposed us to this lesson in seamanship. 

Anything that you can do in this regard will be greatly appreciated.  

Your humble servants,

Janet, Graeme, and Aethan

PS: some nice wind in the right direction is nice, but try not to send too much!
