… but we can change sailing directions and adjust sails.

As mentioned in a few narrations back we sailed for a while dead west to escape from a low-no wind area. When we looked at the latest wind forecast last night, we got the idea that tomorrow, thus today, it could be better to change heading again. This morning’s wind forecast showed the same and Vili our weather consultant in CH recommend the same. Thus, we set the gennaker just in the first daylight with the sun still behind the horizon. Now we are again on direct course to the WPT “GambierReef N”. 1530 NM to go. Run MaRe, run!

Today and tomorrow we should have about the same wind. Less than 10 KN TWS. But this gives us typically up to 5 KN of STW.

The 25th will be a crucial day with winds close to 0 or even 0.
But maybe the wind doesn’t follow the forecast and blows stronger.

Let’s see! I regard my glass as half full!
