Yesterday morning we finally got the spinnaker up as the seas had calmed down a little and the wind went more aft. We kept it up last night as the wind was a constant 15 knots. Currently the wind has died down to 8 knots and the boat speed has decreased to 4.8 knots. It is forecast for the wind to stay the same for the next 24 hours so our arrival will be delayed a little. Emmanuelle just wants to put the motor on, so we will see.

We are still eating well and the kids are doing their final CNED evaluations.

Our current position is 9deg 46.37'S and 132deg 19.68'W and course 256deg.
