The sea is the same as it has been since before men ever went on it in boats.

Tonight at 4am we crossed our half way latitude. It has been a slow day with lots of motoring and some sleepy sailing, wind permitting.

[status] so another day in the South Pacific battling against a wind that doesn't want play ball ........ we stayed on our northerly tack all night and tacked back to the west at daybreak as we hadn't made much progress towards Tubuai over the previous 10hrs. Late morning we started to get 'headed' so we again tacked back to the north, but by this time our new destination was Papeete, as we've lost too much time to get to Tubuai and then to Tahiti, before we run out of time for crew change flights etc.
