[status]We've just turned SW from a course of 270 and have had fine sailing for the past many hours. Nice to have the engine off for a change! The only sail is a double reefed genoa and even that's a bit too much in this fresh breeze - don't want to get too close to land before daylight and a boat speed of 6kts would be preferable to 7. The moon is still high and bright, also a welcome condition for night passage! Winds will probably die at 05:30 and Mersoleil will arrive at Gili Air mid-morning. A little traffic every night: cargo ships, fishing boats, passenger ferries and the occasional dive boat (fewer here than back at Komodo National Park. It's all good! Bev
