Shortly after midnight we entered the lull.

The wind went down and MaRe’s died as well. She moves at 0530 (UTC+13) with 3 KN STW and a COG of 220 deg. The ratio of VMG/SOG of still 0.9, thus no need to tack right now. Later I’ll remove the reef 1 from the main sail to get a little bit more speed.

According to the latest forecast this should remain like that for the next 30 h then the wind is supposed to change to S. The wind waves are down to less then 50 cm; only a swell of less than a meter rolls on to her. A leisure day lays on front of us. We could start to make a swimming race against MaRe…

Let’s see what comes up.
