Still rockin & rollin but today under solid
grey skies just like the ones we left behind;but very warm,Gusts to 40knt
overnight in short bursts from 15knt so plenty of uppin and downin.
Magnificent light show 20km northwest of us last
night Huge blasts of lightening for houirs.Lucky us not to be too close. Could
almost ahve been volcanic or the US fleet exercising.
280nm to go so plans for Sunday am look good. Have
just crossed another time line so now 11 hrs behind GMT.Next one is the dateline
and we will gain a day .
Boat going well and genset working (touch
wood
With still some way to go .the Pacific or this part
of it is proving the most difficult so far both weather wise and from the
anchoring point of view not a part of the world for the lightly
experienced
