[status] Having a great sail with occasional sort sharp cool showers in between hot tropical winds. Nice to have cold drinks aboard in this 34 degree (C) heat. Saw some wildlife today, a bunch of Bulwer's Petrels, dark grey-brown mottled plumage, always in pairs skimming, weaving and twisting only a metre above the waves looking for a feed. Also came across a Dong Won - Korean? 50 metre fishing boat in the middle of nowhere minding it's own business busy longlining.

Made it to Seisia yday and enjoyed shore run. V beautiful around here and the sky was lit up last night, first by a glorious sunset and then by huge fire in distance ashore. (apparently the latter is common, as used by locals to clear a scrub for agriculture... And make it easier to spot snakes!)
