[status] 20181128 0530 UTC, Day 9. 2 PonB, Douglas & Morgan, all is well. Outbound Fiji. Inbound Marshall Islands. Good sailing weather continues with favorable winds and seas. But wind direction at 30-50T is more northerly than we want, pushing us to sail a heading of ~310T. While Majuro is northwest of us, we are using up too much west too early, risking an easterly heading as we close on Majuro [END]
To reach a port we must set sail. Sail, not tie at anchor. Sail, not drift.
