And we've changed back to our sewn up sail in 20 kts, supposed to be rising...Sail seems to be working fine but appendages all crossed bigtime. 2 reefs, glistening day, sea that lovely iridescent turquoise - quite steep, lumpy, little breaking tops with spray blowing off them in downy jewelled wisps. Best we can comfortably do is direct track for Wake - the Americans won't be pleased if we arrive on their beach, so we'll divert around as we get closer.
Later - much too hot for more that 5 minutes in this little hell hole - I've just noticed that today the sun is to the south of us - no shade in the cockpit. Yeeehaaa! Belmore South, this is important for a couple of reasons. Can anyone work out why?
