Update

Coordinates:35 03 807 S 176 34 005 W
AS AT time 16.30

Bearing:67 Mag
Boat Speed:5.3
Wind Direction: NW
Wind Strength:8.5 knots
Sea state:1 m swell from SE

Crew health: fine

Fish caught:one Tuna

Other points of interest: steady day of sailing , fairly light winds still, but making progress
we plan to slowly edge north to about 34 degrees S lat and 170 W longitude and review route then depending on winds

enough Tuna for next three days - great to have the electric freezer

Crewman Ted Berry and I are both agreed to take things easily , not to push the boat too hard and risk any gear failures

Ted built and sailed for many years a 45 foot Wharram catamaran and is enjoying being back on board a catamaran
Denise meanwhile is attending a family wedding in Arizona and plans catch up in Rarotonga for the rest of the voyage.
