Light winds, calm seas, clear sunny skies. Motorsailing off & on with genoa & main lightly pulling. We are in the lee of Tarawa Atoll now. On course for the Tarawa Main Channel marker less than 20nm. Good chance we will bypass Tarawa and press on to Tuvalu.

The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.
