Our current route is to head for Minerva Reef, a very small isolated reef in the middle of the ocean. It covers completely at high water and is about 400 miles to the north east. We're not planning to stop there, but the course gives good easting, as while the winds are south of east at the moment, they are expected to come round to the north east at some point in the passage. North east is not good for us unless we are sufficiently far east to have the wind on the beam.
