After a night of motoring and calm seas, we are now able to sail again. All batteries are topped up to 100% (a part from the iridium phone which takes ages to be topped up).

We motored further South to rendezvous with the trade winds showing fluffy clouds at the horizon. This paid off, as we are having a steady 8 knots of wind again. (Still wishing for a little stronger winds though!)

All is going well, Kahia is clean, tidy and well looked after, we still have plenty of fresh food, full tanks of fresh water and enjoy the beauty of the sea and sky around us. Glorious sunshine, as every day so far.
