428 miles completed 136 miles in the last 24 hours 293 miles to Suwarow OR 755 miles to Pago Pago Today we have decided to go directly to Pago Pago.
That is until the weather forecast changes again.
No wind at all for the last 18 hours. The engine is
getting a pounding and it is extremely hot without a breeze. The shade is going
up this morning. A boring 24 hours without doubt but at least we have had calm
weather to catch up on some sleep.
I did however win at dominoes, which brightened the
day up for me at least. Honour prevents me from naming the looser but it wasn’t
me.
We caught a fish but I had set the drag so heavily
that the line didn‘t pay out. Which means we didn’t hear it and we had been
dragging the fish for unknown number of hours, days. It was about 3 feet long
had sharp teeth and several something’s have had a bite, so not too sure what
kind of fish it was. Better to check the line a bit more frequently I
suppose.
No propogation on the SSB so no check in with the
Coconut net. Therefore no idea what kind of weather everyone else in the nearest
1,000 miles are experiencing.
