The wind did pick up overnight from the south east
and caused a fair swell.It has moderated now to 21knt true but still with
swell.i increased to sail area at dawn and hence boatspeed back to the
comfortable 7knt and this has got rid of most of the rolling.Current seems to be
back and yesterdays run was 144nm/160 measured.Passed the 3000nm stage
overnight(in 20 days-not bad) and this morning Have just 970nm to run.I can
almost smell the bougainvillia.
