[status] Day 53...We left Vanuatu behind and are scrambling to get to New Caledonia before a frontal system which is forecast to bring strong head winds at first. Hence, on sunset, we turned the engine on to get us moving. Unfortunately a total lack of wind and an adverse current made for very slow progress. I would have enjoyed the slow night with it's beautiful canopy if it wasn't for the anticipation of the weather coming towards us. Another few hours and we can turn down, softening the blow on the boat and the mast. We will get there!
