Hi everyone,
At noon today we were at 22 28S 177 27W steering 230M, sailing with double-reefed main and single-furled yankee at 5.5 knots. The wind was 16G20 from the E. Our noon to noon distances were 129nm by the log and 133nm over the ground. Overall we'd logged 155nm and 161nm respectively. Our distance to go was 108nm.

Conditions have been quite stable since departure. Wind E to ESE 15G20 with cloud varying from 3/8 to 6/8. There are at least two wave trains which make the ride a little irregular but very little spray aboard. It's not champagne sailing but we're making good progress. Thestral is about 4nm ahead of us. The wind is expected to ease to 10G15 this evening.

The above screenshot shows our track to noon today. It also shows the widely varying depths in this part of the Pacific. From seamounts within metres of the surface to trenches over 10km deep.
Trust all's well where you are!
