Fiji Bound Day#03

Another lovely nice sailing day. Winds picked up a little bit, and that means the sea did as well. It is not uncomfortable but you do feel the change. Coupled with a bit more wind we stowed the spinnaker from yesterday and are just use it working white sails. Still moving along quite well and easting and resting well.

Our forecast model and help from our shore side watch keep suggests we should try and get a little more north to pass a ‘no wind’ zone that is in the forecast in a couple of days so we are doing a little bit of that today. Our cross track error is climbing, that is the distance we have traveled away from the the straight line from start to finish. We have gone 100+ miles north of the straight line, that means we will have to come back those 100 odd miles when by the time we get to the destination. We are chasing the favorable winds to keep us moving and the seas that are not too rough.

Day after day things will start to blur, what day is it? How long have we been on this passage? Wasn’t that the same cloud we passed yesterday? We are not going in circles are we? 🙂

All good on board, just taking it easy. Bacon Breakfast tacos whats not to love
