[status] Still motoring, calm with a flat sea. Have just brought our course up to 70 degrees true in anticipation of some easterly wind as we approach New Caledonia. We got the spinnaker to fill for a few hours yesterday, perhaps just as a statement to the powers that be that we are still determined to be a sailing vessel! The boys have mixed feelings about this calm weather as it means catch-up time for school work (but also movies in the cockpit). 200nm out from Noumea and no signs of mutiny.
[END]
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
