[status] Day 41...We arrived at one of Tokelau's atolls at day break. Our first sight of land in 40 days! Found a spot with the least swell, let the boat just drift in the lee of the island and proceeded to go up the mast. Happy with the repairs and re-enforcement, we continued on our way. Then, one after the other, the squalls marched over us, bringing with them howling winds, sheets of rain and angry seas. I am just so grateful they held off while the skipper was up the mast!
