A slow passage

Our position 13deg 37'406S - 143deg 35.334W

We left our little paradise on Sunday afternoon after being offered 10 kg of fruits by the locals. Since then, Merlin is getting lighter as the diesel tank is getting emptier. We are motoring since too long. We knew we would have a slow crossing to the Tuamotu, but there is a difference between light winds and no wind.

Still no fish neither.

However, we were treated with 2 beautiful green flashes, one was yesterday just before the sunrise. We also had a great flashy double rainbow yesterday. We are enjoying every little things that Nature is giving us to make this trip more pleasant. The flat seas will also allow us to do some pancakes tonight and for once it will be with Nutella!
