[status] Went through light air Sat. afternoon and put up our light air asymetrical for a nice reach. At sunset, wind picked up to 12-15 so doused the chute and went with a reefed main and working jib. Averaging 7.5 knots. Beginning to lighten up now and expect we may have many days ahead of very light air.

[weather] Mostly clear skies with small clouds. Lots of stars! 10 knts wind from the east. Flat seas.
We are listening every morning and can copy Gulf Harbor Radio but expect that you can't hear us. Can David address weather en route to Kiribati? We know that he is pretty busy with all the boats under way to NZ so understand if he can't get to this area.
THANKS!
Bruce and Laura
