A beautiful day on the Pacific Ocean.  There is a stationary high pressure ahead and south of the Tonga isles which is giving us light easterlies - about 10kts.  Still motor sailing at 6.5/7kts.  24 hour run was 161 miles and we have 120 miles to go giving an eta around sunset. Fingers are all crossed and ready to to add a few revs if needed tomorrow.  Pancakes, bananas and maple syrup for breakfast, pate for lunch with spagetti bolognaise for dinner.
