COG 34T. Speed 5.8 under motor, wind 12 N, 60% cloud cover - mackerel sky, bar 1010.2. ETA Minerva 0900 sat, give or take.
Minerva Reef in the morning, all going to plan. Slow upwind slog these last couple of days but ooooooh, it's warm. We're looking forward to having a few full nights sleep without all this rocking and rolling. And to experience the weirdness of putting our anchor down in mid ocean. Smorgasbord of curries yesterday and today - prep for Fiji. Piet says 'Hi Hazel'.

[status]Arrived at North Minerva 1630hrs after spending a nice time at South Minerva. Walked around some of the reef this morning with people from 2 other boats. Not much wind at present 6kn Easterlies (got it right this time - "sorry David & Patricia" yesterday I said W winds and should have said East winds). Anyway, what matters is that we caught a nice big yellow fin tuna for dinner. Yum![END]
