[status] Motor sailing. The expected Easterly breeze kicked in several hours ago. We are taking it fairly close on the nose but have the sails up for a little extra boost. 55 miles out from the reef passage into Noumea (Pass de Boulari). Likely arrival in Port Moselle late afternoon. Low level cloud starting to build but the barometer is still buoyant. There is a slight swell pushing us towards the tasty patisseries.

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
