Position report: 18_48.860s, 160_30.966e bearing 236mag, wind SSE @ 15knts, swell 1m. Speed over ground (sog) 6.6knts
Crew: some mildly sea sick, no vomiting, some stoic moaning, reminy still has ear ache will contact Dr Jamie today.
Boat: all good, weeping leak in hydraulic steering_not an issue_ monitoring, need more solar panels, as having to run engine to charge batteries from time to time.
Amazing night, pandion FLEW, wind 20knts just abaft of the beam, one reef in the main, balanced just right, and she surged along in the mid eights for hours on end. Top speed 9.9knts. Budi very annoyed we didn't crack ten. Full moon, and we could see birds flying in the dark. After several entanglements with the wind generator two boobies landed on the port rail. We called one Lazy as it just sat and looked wistfully out to sea while its mate spent hours preening. The second we called Danger on account of it's rear end being dangerously close to our faces! Sun's out, ocean very blue, cake and papaya for breakfast. Miles
