Partly cloudy partly starry night. Wind SW Force 4. We’re making a course of 315  degrees doing  6 knots.  A direct course to Easter Island is 267 degrees so it’s not that efficient but at least we’re going vaguely in the right direction.  Yesterday’s granary loaf came out really well.  The mix is nearly idiot proof.  The fish have eschewed our  trailing line, we should have kept the small dorado.

We had a quiet night sailing gently North of our course.  At 8:30 this morning we started motoring again as we are 85 miles North of our track. As we’re motoring I decide to have another go with the bread maker,  white this time.

 

Yesterday’s run was or should I say cantor was down to 154 miles.  We are 480 from Easter Island.
