[status] yesterday was much the same - motor into a then 7-10 knot Southerly plus tide making progress slow but onward and forward. PredictWind shows a SE/E setting in this morning building to around 10 knots - it actually started a few hours ago so we set the jib and were making much better progress ie 6 knots ! But unfortunately that only lasted 1.5 hours before dying out and switching to a light Southerly again.
Fingers crossed the forecast eventuates and we can get sailing again later this morning.
Yesterday was a glorious day - sunny and warm - we did our washing which dried promptly .
The temps at night are dropping - I think the blankets will come out from tonight which will be the first time since the passage up to Tahiti.
