[status] Update from our earlier report. We're now heading towards Raivavae a distance of 1080nm. So in seven days we're half way. We're sailing now with the code zero (a large light weight headsail) at between 2 and 7 knots in a light but variable wind shifting back and forth between SW and SE. The seas are flat in that the waves are less than 0.5m but there is a large swell.

{weather]5-13kn SW-SE, seas no waves, 4m SW swell, cloud cover 40%
[END]
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
