Yesterday the boats we had oertaken turned to motor
and passed us leaing us to sail on alone . The wind which had been less than
8knt filled in and by nightfall we were again in sight . This seemed to
promt them to motor off again . The wind became nil this morning at 2 am and
after sailing ery slowly myself and becuse of approaching South Minera
reef with it's currents I gae in to and switched to power 30nm off. We are now
heading for North Minera Reef which is 2 nm away where we shall anchor in the
middle of the Pacific and watch the surf breaking all around us for a day or
perhaps two
