Palmerston -> Beveridge Reef – 1st day

As forecast the winds were very light throughout the day and into the evening. We struggled to make 3 knots. But we knew this would be the case so we weren’t worried. The seas were calm so we didn’t suffer from the sail flogging in the light winds. We were therefore able to put some miles down and soon Palmerston was over the horizon.

Overnight the winds have picked up. At the beginning of my shift we were making between 5 and 6 knots but recently that has pulled back a bit. We’re still aiming more for Niue than Beveridge Reef as we’re still anticipating a wind shift to the north west this evening. The winds are expected to slacken again after about a day of medium weather so I’m still expecting a Thursday arrival, boat time of course. For much of the world it will be Friday as we’ll be closer still to the dateline.
