[status] late yesterday evening we gybed back onto a port tack and have continued this way ever since, the wind is from the south and we're heading NE to Papeete, the sun came out mid morning after some early heavy clouds, that only gave a short burst of light rain, had dispersed.

Everyone is relaxing on board, boat is fairly stable with only occasional banging when we get one of the larger swells come through, we're looking forward to getting to Tahiti sometime tomorrow night/early hours Monday morning, hence not putting up the gennaker today as we can't possibly make it before dark so not rushing to get there as we want to enter through the channel in daylight!

Not much else to report, we've changed out another battery that was beginning to fail / showing low voltage and the inside freezer is staying frozen, now we're keeping the voltages up. We've a consolidated list of "boat jobs to do" for when we get there ......... Happy weekend to all our readers!
