I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

Great sailing last night as the wind gradually built in strength and sails were reduced accordingly. Good speeds which are making tomorrow morning arrival very likely.
At the moment we are seeing a lot of plus 8 on the sog as we power along with quarter furled jib and 2nd reef mainsail. Seas at increasing as one would expect, hoping they stay reasonable, I really don?t want to have to clean the compressor locker again!

[weather]fine, a few clouds and 23kn SE
[status]Initially we had about 12kn well aft of beam, which was horrible in 3 m swells, really rolly and banging sails, but about 1800hrs the wind came up strong SE 20-24kn and we have had that ever since - fantastic sailing. Both slept a bit better last night. Hopefully the wind will keep blowing today and we will be in Vanuatu tomorrow all going well.
