The boys are preparing MOONFISH for the passage to Tonga, getting the screacher ready, and putting away any gear thatâs lying around. Weâre leaving today! dum dum de da de! North Minerva youâve been great, but itâs time for us to seek out Pangai because weâre running out of beer!
The wind has swung to a south, sou east, which should do us nicely once it fills in on Tuesday and hits the 10 to 15knots predicted in the Euro forecast model on Predict Wind Offshore.
Weâll keep an eye out for the Kittiwake crew, and settle back into passage shifts, now with a working Auto! yay!
All well on board.
