For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), it's always ourselves we find in the sea.

[status] Today was a good day of sailing, especially this morning where we were broad reaching with full main and jib, calm seas and favorable current. Conditions were so good we even did a yoga session, albeit no balancing positions.
This afternoon and early evening the wind has swung to the SW and we are now sailing in about 18 knots with poled out half furled jib and 1st reef in the main. Quite comfortable but the current now seems against us and progress is slower. Had to deal with a couple of pesky rain squalls.

[speed] Anchored off Limu island, Ha?apai, Tonga
[heading]
[status] Had a noisy and rolly ?sleep?. Upped anchor and motorsailed north. Maybe if we tuck inside the outer reef to the east of the central Ha?apai Group, we?ll have a calmer anchorage and better sleep ... see, cruising ain?t always glamour and boating bliss.
