[status] A day of a bit lighter wind but mostly good sailing. This afternoon the speed was not quite enough and the motor went on. The seas were calm enough that there were no splashing waves which allowed us to empty and dry out the dive compressor locker which had been a little flooded when the cockpit was swamped by a wave a few days ago. Quite a big task, the main one being to rinse compressor with fresh water and dry it as best possible out here. Need to give it a run when we arrive and then a good spraying of Inox.
The wind increased after dinner and now sailing again quite nicely, tight reaching in about 12 knots.
It?s a stunning night out here with not much cloud and the sea painted in light from the half moon.
