[position] 32 03.890S 172 10.410E
[status] Still motor sailing along (with wind vane steering) - in light ESE winds, on a relatively calm sea (swell is down considerably) under clear, sunny skies! The auto pilot even worked in the almost-no-wind conditions we experienced for several hours earlier today! Arrival at Marsden still anticipated for Friday late afternoon or early evening. All is well on board. NB: This post will show our correct longitude - 172E (I noticed the last post had us at 175E - we have done some detouring on this passage with fickle winds, but not that far east!)
[speed] 6.2 kts (motor sailing)
[heading] 150T
[weather] Winds ESE, 9 -11; seas 2m S; 5% cloud cover; bar 1015.05, falling.
