[weather] Wind 22-27 SE, Bar 1015.8, Sea 2m SE, Sky 80% cumulus, Ocean water temp 29.6c
[speed] 6 kts
[heading] 331 T
[status] Sailing northwest in the Koro Sea, bound for Savusavu, Fiji
Starboard broad reach under double reefed main and staysail.
Motion not bad but for occasional 3m swell that knocks boat around. Some waves slap the hull and send spray over the cabin top.
Sky is mixed low level cumulus that behave like mini-squalls bringing blasty gusts and rain. Altocumulus above that in clearing patches.
Venerable Aries wind vane is steering very well. All is well on board.

To reach a port we must set sail. Sail, not tie at anchor. Sail, not drift.
