Hi everyone,
At noon today we were at 05 48S 099 16W steering 230M, sailing under double-reefed main and full yankee at 6 knots. The wind was 15G20 from the ESE. Our noon to noon distances were 127nm by the log and 150nm over the ground. Overall we've logged 1637nm and 1723nm respectively. Our distance to go is 2369nm.

The difference between our logged and over the ground distances shows we have 1 knot of current with us. Very nice!
Yesterday afternoon and evening clouds gradually built. In the early hours of the morning we had light-moderate rain. Throughout the night winds were down to 10G15 which slowed us down a little. The wind returned to 14G18 in the morning and the clouds cleared.
Our 6 hour watches are working well for us. Much nicer to get an almost full night's sleep.
This morning I updated the boat manual. It's a 43 page document intended as a reference for us and an introduction if we ever have crew aboard. One item needing updating was the electronics system diagram. It's shown below. Meanwhile Nic made quiche for lunch. Yum!
