[speed] 5 to 5.5 kts
[heading] 300T
[weather] 12-15kt SE, 0.5m swell SE, 50% cc, Bar 1017, 29 degrees.
[status] Sailing to Savusavu, passing Lakeba. Already much warmer than in Tonga. Slowed down and motored overnight with squally conditions causing lots of wind angle changes, variable wind speeds and a knot of unfavourable current. Sunny this am, with light SE winds. Flying twin head sails for this downwind leg. 150NM to go.

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.
