Hi everyone,
At noon today we were at 06 05S 104 13W steering 260M, sailing under double-reefed main and full yankee at 5.5 knots. The wind was 13G17 from the ESE. Our noon to noon distances were 123nm by the log and about 150nm over the ground. Overall we've logged 1888nm and about 2050nm respectively. The 'abouts' are because we're in the middle of transitioning to UTC-7. Our distance to go is 2073nm. Nearly half way!

Today's colour is blue! The clouds gradually cleared late yesterday afternoon and in the evening. For much of the night we had a moon-free star-scape. Spectacular! Closer to the water we 'collected' at least 20 flying fish on deck. Most of them small but a few big 'uns.
This morning the wind eased a little so we've slowed likewise. But we have a very nice 1+ knot of current with us and are making good ground. The sunny morning gave us a good opportunity to take a look at the hull with an underwater camera. Not pretty. We are a gooseneck barnacle farm.

| Uh Oh! |
We'll be able to clean the hull once we reach the Marquesas. In the mean time we're continuing to hold-off sv Xora as the usual screenshot shows. Zen Again is the dark blue boat in the middle.
