Weather: Mostly clear skies with small clouds. Lots of stars! 10 knts wind from the east. Flat seas. We are listening every morning and can copy Gulf Harbor Radio but expect that you can't hear us. Can David address weather en route to Kiribati? We know that he is pretty busy with all the boats under way to NZ so understand if he can't get to this area. THANKS! Bruce and Laura PS Can you let us know if you are receiving our emails?

Went through light air Sat. afternoon and put up our light air asymetrical for a nice reach. At sunset, wind picked up to 12-15 so doused the chute and went with a reefed main and working jib. Averaging 7.5 knots. Beginning to lighten up now and expect we may have many days ahead of very light air.

Weather: 16 kts wind from NE. 1 meter swell (down from 3-4 meter earlier today). 80% cloud cover. light rain.

Left Fiji on Wednesday morning. Had a fast reach for first 12 hours. Then more pleasant reach for next 6-7 hours. We've been in rain and wind 17-22 since 3:00 am (TH). Got headed this afternoon with 60 degree wind shift so changing our destination from Tuvalu to Kiribati.
