[status] Yesterday afternoon we encountered SE winds precisely on cue and we were able to execute Plan A (keep same direction with sails up, directly to Raivavae). Apparently one of the weather gods decided things were going too smoothly, as today has been a mess! No dependable wind speed or direction, messy seas, lots of rain (and lots of sail changes).
[heading] 5T
[speed] 4k
[weather] Wind changing frequently, NNE through SE; average 12k with 25k in squalls. Sea mixed 3m. Baro 1020mb and steady. Cloud 100% with frequent squalls and rain.
[END]
The sea is the same as it has been since before men ever went on it in boats.
