Mustang Sally Cruising - Day 4 (22nd May)

Day 4 (22nd May) - Life in the C0RAL SEA

Mustang Sally Cruising

Mark Lawrence & Dianne Jackson

Sat 21 May 2016 22:38

Current position is 26:01.53S 163:45.00E

Had a very comfortable nights sail and hope the wind hangs in today as forecast is for dying breeze as we get closer towards New Caledonia.

The instruments are showing that the water temp has now reached 26C and the ocean is beautiful pacific blue,. Part of the mornings duties was clearing the flying fish from the decks who were unlucky enough to end up on deck overnight.

With these conditions and a full moon night watches are no hardship Smile

Currently 250NM to reach the reef pass into New Caledonia which means our ETA is still good for Tuesday morning.
