slow

We are still moving along at a rather slow pace due to low winds, roughly 10 knots. 24 hour average speed is 5.8knots but only because we had some better wind early in the day yesterday. Overnight we've had barely enough to keep us over 5 knots. The weather man says more wind is on the way later today so we're just in waiting mode.
We are seeing a few more types of seabirds lately so that's likely a bit of a sign that we're getting at least a little closer to land. But we were pretty amazed that even out in the middle there were a couple different types of birds out there. One looked a little like a seagull shape but with a very long slender tail; probably a tern of some kind. The other was a small dark (brown?) bird, larger than a sparrow. Maybe a swift? It darted back and forth through the troughs of the waves. It's hard to imagine flying continuously but apparently that what these birds do other than during mating/nesting season.
As of noon UTC, we had 527 miles remaining. ETA Sunday afternoon.
