[status] 20181127 0500 UTC, Day 8. 2 PonB, Douglas & Morgan, all is well. Outbound Fiji. Inbound Marshall Islands. A return to excellent sailing weather with favorable winds and seas. Sailing mostly on a close reach with reefed genoa, full staysail, and reefed main (reefed sails allow us to single-hand tumbleweed through squalls during watches). Winds are expected to fall by Thursday, but CAPE is very low, so perhaps limited squalls. So far 780nm sailed realizing 640nm VMG. 900 nm to go (rhumbline).
