A totally black moonless night with no moon and no
wind .Good for sleeping which I did with the radar and AIS keeping watch . Feel
much renewed this morning and after a full breakfast the wind filled in from the
east and we are now sailing on course at 4.5 knt . Outlook looks better for NZ
with probably lighter winds than anticipated around the approaching low . No
contact with the other boats except for the occasional crackle on the
VHF
Have passed through some area´s of oily water
;presumably ships washing their tanks . Shame on them
.
