“We had some split last night, enjoying some sailing time with no boat on sight”
We are now out of the doldrums area, dealing with gentle and unsettled ESE trades, on our way to pass the North East reefs of New Caledonia
Xabi: “What a leg we are having again!”
“There are still so much to come in the Salomon Islands, that make us think this leg is giving us another chance. Let’s see if it does and if we can take it.”
Welcome to the trade winds!
We expect now those trade wind conditions to continue or about three days, getting fresh from tomorrow, and we will start seeing some typical shower activity from the trades.
“New leg, same story”.
Xabi: “I already see it’s going to be an exhausting leg but we knew this before the start.”
News from the boat, by Vila
“Winds are starting to free up to the SE and we are currently sailing close reaching with 20 knots of wind”
Xabi: “We keep doing easy miles towards HK “
Another fantastic day of sailing, VMG downwind with +20 knots of wind speed and very nice waves to catch, it is being good fun.
