Sunny weather. TWS between 15 – 20 KN from around 90 deg. AWA is around 130 deg. By pulling the clew of the genoa with the sheet and the barber hauler it stays better open for that AWA. MaRe sails with average SOG of 5.8 KN and a STW of 7.0 KN averaged as well.

ETA at the WPT “Minerva approach”, the first WPT of the Minerva Reef I set, fluctuates between 0700 and 1100 on the 17.Nov (UTC+13). From that WPT it’s about 2 NM into the center of the lagoon inside. So far we are good in time.

I did a few boat jobs and adjust wind vane angle so we sail close to the planned route. Boh finished her book and is drawing right now. While I wrote this, she came in and is fixing something lunch. I expect it will be delicious like always.

Life on board is very relaxed.
