We started sailing again at 12:30 yesterday afternoon and had three hours of motoring early evening.  Sunset was a non event. There is a starlit night with wisps of gauzy clouds. The wind is a bit too much behind. 70 miles to go. The waning moon looks like a canoe floating in a sea of cloud.

We are anchored at Suwarrow after a run of 175 miles.  The first impression is one of extreme beauty.  There are another five yachts here. We haven’t explored anything yet but I wanted to post the position. Steve had a go up the mast with the underwater fish-eye lens and Russell who is normally not too keen on heights also had a trip up the mast.  Its only 28 meters above deck.
