[w]3-6kn E and a SW 2m swell + half meter NE swell. Beautiful day with 10% cloud cover. Brom 1015.
[s]Mahimahi for dinner yay! Wok caught a 1.200 mtr fish, so it might even be a BBQ with the amount of wind we dont have. A nice sunny day, with 3-6knots from the east. A SW 2m swell and NE half meter swell made it hard work sailing, so the motor is getting a workout. Both of us are well.

[s]Uneventful night of motor sailing with light 10kn Southerlies and half mtr SW swell. Probably another two nights before we get to Minerva Reef. Hoping for some of that wind to funnel through from NZ.
