Since days we are hampered in our sail to Gambier Islands by a low-no wind area.

First we sailed dead West. When the conditions changed we sailed again directly to the Gambier Islands. However we expect to get less wind on the direct course and changed course a bit more south; this is what we could see in the wind forecast.

When this evening the new wind forecast was downloaded, we were surprised. The more southerly course we selected turn out to be not so anymore. This we went back on the direct course to the Gambier Islands.

1427 NM to go.

In the pursue of wind one can make errors.
