Passed the half-way point to the Azores

Winds have been light from the NW, sailing downwind averaging 3-4k. Good visibility, some clouds, warm. Beautiful morning. We've passed the half-way point to the Azores. It's all downhill from here.
The hardest part about cruising is dealing with the motion of the boat while trying to prepare a meal. The direction and strength of the winds, and the sea state all combine to create a motion. Some days trying to prepare a meal is a real effort and should probably be a sport. Having at least 4 arms (or 6) would definitely be helpful so when you open a cabinet to try and get something out that's behind something else, the door in flopping, and something on the counter you thought was secure decides to take off, and you need to grab something to keep you from ending up somewhere else, the more arms the better. So the last 24 hours we've sailing downwind in light air and it's been pleasant in that cooking hasn't been such a chore.
