[status] Departure from Reunion yesterday went smoothly - after leaving our berth, we topped off our diesel at the fuel dock and then got underway (about 24 hours ago). Have traveled about 130 miles so far. Lighter winds yesterday, and had to motor for a few hours yesterday evening. Wind filled in just before midnight, and we've been having good sailing conditions ever since. Our wind instrument decided to go on strike for this passage, so we're guessing at the wind speed and setting our sails based on the wind indicator at the top of our mast, but we're having a nice wing-and-wing downwind sail. All is well aboard. 270 miles to go.
