Wind directly astern this morning, so Simon
and I spent the morning trying to get us going, finally the wind veered, and we
are now making a nice 5.5kts in 13kts of breeze, (we still have our big
props on, they must take at least 1.5kts off our speed!) Great sailing,
clear skies, sea is dropping. Very pleasant.
We now have to listen to our children quote large
sections of Monty Python, thank you Vagabond Heart kids, where they sat and
watched the Holy Grail!
Looking forwards to arriving in Tahiti sometime
tomorrow afternoon, plan on a busy day doing laundry etc. then into town to find
out what is happening, Amanda is keen on seeing the dancing, I suspect
Simon is more interested in the spear throwing, and coconut tree climbing
competitions. Shall also try to send off some
pictures.
