[status] Underway Tonga, 23 34 S - 178 28 W. Wind sill light now finally SE quadrant, subtle reaching, tickling her along at times ghosting and only the surfs down swell, which is also in our favor finally, keep us moving along. Actually beginning to enjoy this super light stuff now, flat sailing, quiet and no stress, bright half moon to light the way and nice and warm. Time for some popcorn, and just watch the show. Pretty nice all round. Gwen has pulled a few magic tricks out of the galley and we are fat and happy out here. Meat line will go back out before dawn, no luck yet. Yesterday there was some large areas of convective activity ,,,,SQUALLS,,to the East but we seemed to skirt it all day., No free boat wash but it aint over yet.

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.
