Coming up on dawn. What a beautiful night. We were south of our competitors and came up to the pack at midnight. Steady at 6-7 knot average boat speed with a half moon that rose around 11 pm. Here's a photo of the sunset and our dawn. Should be off Canso by now. Steady 14 knots of wind from the NW. Absolutely clear view beyond the horizon and can see "Easy Company" and "Christina Grant". Onward past Cape Breton.

I'll send again before we lose signal, hopefully.
