There’s not enough of it and it’s coming from right behind us. At least we have our new Code Zero. Otherwise we’d be pulling our hair out. The wind also can’t decide where to come from. For a while it was coming from the north east. We’ve jibed the Code Zero three times today getting better at it each time.
We need to make an average of 5.7 knots to reach Aitutaki by dusk tomorrow. We’re currently doing 5 in just over twice that of wind. Fortunately this one can be approached after dusk but we’d prefer not to. I’ve put some beers in the fridge just in case we’re in the mood when we arrive.
