Rather more frustrating last 24 hrs. The wind is swinging from north east to south east and drops away at times.No sign of the forecast 15 to 20 southeast! Right now however the sea state is building so we are in for some more wind from somewhere.
The engine decided to throw one of the alternator belts last night which added to the fun. We have put a new belt on so that is all good. Trip log stands at 730nm, so we are around 400nm from Lautoka. Pete has decided to have a go at a frittata for lunch so that is shaping as a highlight. Ollie has the lines out the back but has had no interest
so far apart from the second flying fish which landed on the foredeck overnight.
