Its midnight out here, motoring through an inky black calm sea, under a starry sky. There is no wind. A gentle breeze is our ideal as we had all day yesterday, but I'll put up with no wind compared with 30-40 knots and a bucking sea we had last night (Wed night). We use this email to report our conditions to Gulf Harbour Radio who we check in with each morning: No cloud, wind 5 knots variable, barometer 1013,course 14, speed 5 knots, aiming for Minerva Reef, ETA Friday or Saturday. And its warm, no more cumbersome wet weather gear. We'll probably cross the dateline today.
Yesterday we had chilli con carne for lunch complete with platter of accompaniments, sour cream, limes, cheeses, avo, lettuce etc.
I look forward to Minerva - anchor down, sleep all night, company, there are a number of other boats sailing at this latitude, many heading for Minerva. Click on link above and send your comments which we will get on arrival.
Cheers Janet
