[status] Friday night brought more light and variable winds dodging lightning squalls but on the plus side, another meteor shower at 5 AM. More light wind Saturday from every direction on the compass kept us busy with sail adjustments and alternating between sailing and slowly motoring. We've picked up a 3+ meter swell which knocks the wind from the sails and prevents us from sailing through the really light air as we did earlier with flatter seas. There are plenty of clouds about and the lightning started around sunset so it promises to be another interesting night. Majuro 2019 or bust?
