[status] Had a blast out of Noumea!!!
At 20:00 yesterday we had been underway for 10h and we traveled 92NM, that's an average of 9.2kn. We touched 15.4 at some stage.
The wind has been 18~22 all day, we keep the apparent to 80º, the swell is below 2m, 1 reef on the main and half a Genoa.
We then took another reef and traveled the night slower for comfort.
Nice sunrise through the clouds calmer sea and lighter wind this morning.

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
