[status] It's a beautiful morning, with starry skies. We are motoring slowly as there is no wind and we are wanting to avoid any potential issues with logs in the water. We received an email from some friends 100NM behind us that went through an area over 10 miles that had 'hundreds' of floating logs. Ouch. We'll be arriving in the morning to Sorong. All is well onboard.

[status] Wind held for longer than we expected and had nice sailing conditions all day. Turned on the motor early this morning as wind backed and lightened. Full moon making night watch keeping much easier.
[weather] 12.4 knots NNE. Baro 1016. Partly cloudy overhead but squally looking ahead. Seems like we're chasing the squalls but not catching them.
