[s]Feels as though we are on the home straight now - 130nm to go to Aneityum and we have a lovely 0.7 knot favourable current pushing us along. Good sailing through the night, though we put in two reefs in the main when it blew up to 25 knots. Still bumpy and rolly so off-watch sleep is hard to get.
Current speed puts our ETA in the early hours of Monday morning. If the sky is clear to allow the full moon to light our way into the bay, we'll attempt a night-time arrival but if there's any doubt we'll hove-to until dawn. Looking forward to still waters![END]
The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
