Back in Kuto Bay. Really enjoyed our couple of days at Gadji, especially the snorkelling at Ilot Ngie, where we saw several large adult yellow boxfish. Outstanding! Along with a clown triggerfish, a group of large Smooth Flutemouth and several varieties of large parrot fish including some in shades of purple velvet. Windstar joined us last night on Aradonna for dinner, a lovely evening - especially Margie's lemon meringue pie!

[status] Yesterday morning the wind did fill in again and we spent the day running quite square with poled out jib in 12 to 16 knots wind from about the east.
The sea state became quite boisterous but Jolifou was handling it quite comfortably. The exception was one time when the autopilot lost control in a broach which resulted in headsail backed and us in a hove to position, had to start the motor to get going again rather than dropping sails etc. After that we put a reef in.
