[weather] Overcast, some squalls about, no wind or wind of 15k+ with squall, sailing broadreach 2k no squall or 8.5k with squall
[status] Day 47... We managed 84nm/24hrs, a new record. It begs the question; Is it better too much wind with little sail out, the boat at a steep angle, requiring 6 legs and 8 hands to walk around and manage to achieve something down below. Or, no wind, having the sails flap and the boat roll incessantly making anything down below also difficult? Hmmmm!
On another note; about 1 week ago we predicted we'd arrive around Monday the 28. That's 6 days from now. 6 days is the time we think it will take to sail from New Caledonia to Bundaberg. And we still have 530 to Vanuatu!! Sadly, all of our predictions on this trip have been proven wrong... Gotta take it one day at a time!!
