The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.

position 23 39.4s 178 54.1w We were greeted this morning with a dull and overcast day with rising winds. This was overshadowed by the forecast of increasing rain and wind. Sure enough by tonight we have hit 50k and have probably 1/2 m swells which Rayfiki is riding nicely. Everyone read and I tried to get the AIS going again. Miracles on miracles it has started working and the Raymarine chart plotter once again appears on our iPads or iPhones?.very very useful for the crew as they lie in bed listening to the wind in the rigging and watch our track as we swing back on forth in an arc on the end of our tether. And the yachts continued to pile in. So now there are a total of 25 yachts facing into the wind and waves. Rather be here than 1/2 a mile east in 3, 4 or possibly 5 m swells.
