19:08.1S
174:40.2W Wind on the beam all night,
sailing along at 7/8 kts, up to 9+ at times, then the wind picked up to about
25kts, and the sea became very steep, so I put a reef in, slowed us to
steady 7 kts, but much more comfortable. Kids asleep in the cockpit, Ina up and
about keeping watch until 2400, then helping me with the reef at
0500.
Wind gradually swinging into the east during the
morning, so we will have a little surfing tomorrow morning I suspect. Ian and
Amanda still busy with there knitting projects, SImon helping me trip for max
speed!
Fun sailing in sunny weather, wish the sea would
calm down a little though, another confused pacific
swell.
