[status] Tragic news this morning, my dad David passed away last night. With westerlies forecast we elected to continue to Fiji rather than turn back. We will fly home for memorial.
Almost as if out of respect the weather calmed and most of the day has been moderate reaching in settled seas. Now the wind has gone more west and swell increased for a messy sea state. We are motor sailing wanting to get there asap.
