We were becalmed again from late afternoon yesterday until 2 am in the depths of the night when there was just enough wind to have us moving again. Always tricky by yourself in the dark trying get orientated, to go from becalmed and pointing in any direction, to sails up and on course again Today a steady breeze which hopefully will eventually go more northerly.
Made a great loaf in the oven today ( after having a lesson whilst in Fiji from Denise some weeks ago )
Rice Risotto for lunch incorporating a tin of interesting Dahl Soup we found in an Indian supermarket in Nadi . Fortunately we have three more tins too.
The forecasts forwarded by Shay have proved very accurate to date so hopefully a good wind tomorrow and no becalming tonight !!
