Other points of interest:
This must be trade wind sailing at its best steady breeze , warm and sunny , bright blue sea and the self steering vane doing all the work

I made a new fold up bench seat to fit across the stern of the cockpit in Aitutaki.
This works well as we tend to spend most of our time in the pod/ cockpit especially in good weather. It means now that one person can be on watch and the other stretch out on the seat and have a sleep if they wish

We are currently trying to work out whether to speed up and arrive at the right time of tide etc tomorrow or slow down and go in the following day
