Thank you Steve and Carol for pointing out yesterday's error on the longitude, it was 140 not 40 degrees west. ( So the line to Brazil will be deleted when next on the internet...)
 
Meanwhile we are on a rough passage to the Tuamotus in a force 5/6 with gusts of 7. We did not expect near gale conditions, especially sailing so close to the wind. Kahia is sailing perfectly, while we are holding on tight and struggling to get a weather update. Lucky we are by now seasoned sailors and adapt well to the ever changing sea states.
 
Also big thank you to Rich for keeping us updated with our UK affairs, got all your messages yesterday, so we are able now to focus on getting to the Tuamotus safely!
