340 t0 go at N/N, 265 as I write this. Simon has
been on watch from 2100 to 2400, doing a great job, Ina asleep in the cockpit,
me on the trampoline. We have about 8/10 kts of wind, and have the
spinaker abd headsail out, running dead downwind, making about 5 kts. This
means that there is very little movement of air over the boat,and certainly none
in the cabins, making it hard to sleep. Ina and the kids are doing very well
though, must be all the practise they have had!
So it looks as if we will be in some time on the
30th, that means we get to see the island as we sail past it. The anchorabge is
on the southeastern corner, and we of cousre are approaching from the east.
I guess the day will go, arrive, anchor down, swim,
ashore to clear in,eat, then bed,at least for me!! Tiki`s can wait for a
day!
The boat has held up well, we had a problem with a
blocked fuel filter, only to find the spares I had aboard were from the previous
owner, and were the wrong size! Steve did a great job helping me fix that, other
than that she has functioned fantastically.
