A gentle day of sailing after a night of rain squalls and lightning. We plan to arrive at the anchorage in the Bay of Virgins on Fatu Hiva in the Marquesas tomorrow morning (Saturday) which means slowing our speed to around 3.5 knots overnight to make landfall at daybreak.
A fuller account when we get there!
