[status] It?s been quite a day of rough sailing, particularly this late afternoon as wind and waves built, a final test for the Jolifou which she is passing with flying colours so far. (Touch wood) Handling the conditions well with staysail and 3rd reef mainsail. A couple of little half-broaches (those little rudders) but autopilot has recovered well each time. And yes, the compressor locker will need another clean ?

We made it with 40 minutes to spare before the tide was ripping through the gap in the reef. Again with Sue at the helm and Andrew up the mast, and Stella and Tony on lookout, we negotiated the reef with a side on swell and lots of eddy currents to the inner reef.

Sue is becoming a master at negotiating these reefs saying this reef was much easier than the last although actually being a narrower pass. She just now has to negotiate reefs without constantly repeating "shit shit shit"!

[status]A great day of sailing making really good ground, so we should be in Vanuatu early morning. The sea state is about 2m swell and averaging 20 knots of SE wind. One more night at sea and looking forward to catching up with Rob and Carolyn Port when we get there and a big bunch friends arriving on Saturday. Party time!!
