We set sail at 0500 hrs on sunday for Happaia . Strong southeasterly wind , able to hold the course but too much west going current to get us in through the reefs before dark so return to anchor . Weather seems better tomorrow with the wind going east in the late afternoon . It´s another 0500 start . The benefits have been filling the water tanks today and this evening hearing for the first time the whales calling in the sound just ahead of our anchorage .
