COMMENTS: FIRST DAY WITH CLEAR SKIES. WE ARE BOTH FEELING BETTER AS WEATHER CONDITIONS IMPROVE. WE SHOULD REACH THE SOUTHERN TIP OF SRI LANKA MONDAY IF WE CAN MAINTAIN OUR CURRENT SPEED. WE STILL HAVE NOT DECIDED TO STOP IN GALLE BUT WILL MAKE THE DECISION AS WE GET CLOSER. JUST TALKED TO THE S/V IMAGINE WHO IS JUST 13 NM NORTH OF US AND ON THE SAME TRACK.
