Hi everyone,
At noon today we were at 13 03S 156 46W steering 290M, sailing under single-reefed main and full yankee at 6.0 knots. The wind was 13G18 from the NE. Our noon to noon distances were 125nm by the log and 123nm over the ground. Overall we'd logged 373nm and 369nm respectively. Our distance to go was 877nm.

| Sunset yesterday |
The wind held in and the sky stayed mainly clear yesterday afternoon and overnight. We had a couple of rain clouds pass by giving us a brief few minutes of drizzle. It was an almost full moon which made for a spectacular night. In the early hours of the morning Venus then Jupiter rose in the eastern sky. Venus is very bright and Jupiter is obvious too.
This morning winds began to moderate. We shook out the second reef just before midday. Hopefully the wind will hold. If the swell were a little lower it'd be champagne sailing out here. The wind is predicted to fill in again from the ESE tonight. Might be gybe time then.
Trust all's well where you are!
