Hi everyone,
At noon today we were at 10 12S 134 14W steering 300M, sailing under double-reefed main and double-furled yankee at 5.5 knots. The wind was 16G21 from the ENE. Our noon to noon distances were 100nm by the log and 131nm over the ground. The log is under-reading again. Overall we've logged 3602nm and 4006nm respectively. Our distance to go is 271nm. Only a little more than a Fremantle-Geraldton.

| Go Starlink & Go SpaceX! |
The picture today is in honour of Starlink, a SpaceX company. They have agreed to replace our failing Gen2 unit with a new Mini unit, and to send it to Australia for us to have forwarded to Tahiti. The old unit is well out of warranty so I'm very pleased they 'came to the party' to help us out. What a great company with such fantastic technology.
The good sailing conditions have continued for the last 24 hours. We gybed at dawn this morning, heading back towards our route with a nice E to ENE shift. The good conditions are supposed to persist but only time will tell!
