[status] All well on board, with good sleep in 2hr shifts.

Had a bit of midnight monkey business hanging off the end of the boom doing repairs after a reefing line snapped (chafe).

A bit grey this morning, and wind has eased and swung more East. We're south of the rum line now and still heading a bit south with 2 reefs in the main and full schreecher headsail, running at 120 apparent wind angle. Need to run off a bit to stay on course.. maybe it's Spinnaker time.

We've averaged 7.3kn since midday yesterday, but expect that to start dropping, as wind is forcast to get quite light towards the end, and possibly go South or even SW heading into Saturday.

350nm to the pass south of New Caledonia. Need to keep up the speed if we want to get in before Friday evening.. be nice to have only 2 more nights at sea and get in before the wind switches :)

Banana fritters for breakfast I think.
