settling into life at sea

Coordinates: 20 26.83 S 176 07.7 E
Bearing: 210 T
Boat Speed:
Wind Direction: SE
Wind Strength:20 knots mainly
Sea state: better than yesterday , settling

Crew health: fine

Today the sun is out , the head winds are less strong and the steep short waves have calmed so everything is going well. Sailing to windward is never very comfortable but we are making steady progress and more favourable winds are forecast in the next few days. Leaving Fiji there is usually a SE wind to contend with initially.
Sweet Fijian tomatoes for lunch today with cucumbers , beetroot the last of the fresh bread eaten in the cockpit . The sailing life is pretty good
