[position] 17 51S 169 38E

[weather] ESE wind 2 -5 knts, sea 1 meter swell, SOG 6.5 knots under
engine, COG 270T, 5% cloud, bar 1013

[status] Another beautiful night at sea, with a full moon, long period
swell, and gentle breeze, although not enough wind to sail. But, that is
about to change, as there is a trade wind surge coming and we can see
the cloud build up to the south and southeast of us.  So, we should be
sailing soon.

About 85 miles to go at 1800 UTC. We now expect to arrive Port Vila by
about 6pm. AGOB.  More Later - G&T
