We even saw shooting stars with a full moon last night, only one rain squall all night and a steady wind. The NW wind came in abt noon and increased until we were two sail reaching with between 14 & 18 knots on the beam. This is great sailing for us as we slide along at between 8 & 10 knots , now making up for low winds and low speeds. We are at our theoretical 1/2 way point this morning and it depends what breeze we have from here until we hit the SE trade winds, hopefully in a few days time. Still no other boats since we left Gt Barrier 6 days ago. All well on board and well fed too. Enjoying Liz Davis's ginger crunch and had Sharda's butter chicken last night under a setting sun, delicious ! Capt'n T
