[status]We're making good time towards Raivavae heading directly down wind in W-WSW 20-25 gusting 35kn in squalls. We've got 633nm to go so an ETA of Thursday still looks good. The winds are, however, forecast to decrease over the next few days although remain behind us so it might be Friday before we get there.

[status] Our first 24hrs of sailing have been generally OK. We've had a number of patches of no wind so we've had to motor more than we would like. The biggest pain has been opposing current of 1.5-2kts. We knew this was in the forecast, but still painful to be hammering into that much current on the nose. The skies are sunny and the seas are calm so the crew is very happy. We plan to arrive Monday morning or possibly Sunday evening if we get more wind later today.
