[status] Had an extraordinary day motoring up into the Northwestern Glacier. The range of colours in the ice is phenomenal; everything from bright white, to light steel blue, to grey and a tan brown. We were somewhat surprised that the water temperature was not lower than the 7 degrees we saw as we were motoring around tiny icebergs as you push your way up towards the head of the glacier.

[weather] no wind, no swell, cloudy skies and fog.

[status] Should be arriving in Savu Savu shortly after 8am (in about 4 hours). Really good sailing conditions yesterday (Sunday), but had to switch on the motor during Sunday evening when the winds were too light. Looking forward to enjoying a curry in Savu Savu.

[status] Sailing with reduced sail to time entry to Savu Savu in daylight. Much more comfortable sail today compared with yesterday. SV Fathom is about 1.5 miles behind us, also heading for Savu Savu.
