To reach a port we must set sail. Sail, not tie at anchor. Sail, not drift.

[status] motoring at 4.0kn all night, Genoa up now, motor sailing at 4.8kn, expecting better wind today so we can turn off the engine and glide across a pretty calm sea. All well on board, watches going well. Doing 1.5 hour watches, which fly by, and still allows time for sleep. Better eat some more tuna today. Fishcakes or seared, another tough decision...

[status] On passage, Cabo Verde towards France.
We flew the spinnaker for most of the day, trying to make the best of the light winds, but have made slow progress. Ah well, shouldn't complain, not a cloud in the sky all day with a very pleasant temperature. Chilly at night, though.

[status] We have an uneventful 120NM trip from Honiara to Mbili in the Marovo Lagoon. We motored the entire way, but had .5kts - 1kt of favorable current so we made good time and had to sit at the entrance of the pass for about an hour until dawn. We will be here for a week or two diving and seeing old friends in the village from January this year. The kids are excited to see some of their friends again...and do a lot of diving. All good.

[status] Anchored at N Loto islet, Likiep Atoll, RMI. Yesterday sailed down the lagoon with an escort of dolphins then swam with a sea turtle and clouds of fish. Topped the day off watching phosphorescent critters blinking alongside the boat at anchor.
