Clear Skies at Last
Latitude : 24:27 South
Longitude: 177:34 West
After 100% overcast for the past 2 days, the day dawned with only 50% clod cover, yeah. We are still charging SSW and making good time with an average speed of 5.6 knots which is putting us ahead of the voyage forecast from McDavit so I sent him an email requesting an update. We have been doing a lot of sail changes as the winds have been up and down, backing to the NE then veering back south again. We motored for about an hour last night to get through a calm patch and will see what the day brings. Everyone is well on board which his great but we all seem a bit tired. We have sailing on a tight reach since we left Tonga and hope to crack off to a deep reach later.
