Day 4 at
sea.
After
making a cup of tea and grabbing some chocolate that I'd brought with me I
relived Kila from her steering shift. We were sticking to a bearing of 280
degrees, more west now that north. The plan is pass by the Solomon Islands and
pick up the southeasterly wind which blows through later this week and will
carry us down to Alotau, Papua New Guinea. We're still running on the engine
as the wind is being silly, with the engine on we average about 6 knots.
Looking
out from behind the wheel the moon shone bright on the port side it's light
illuminating the ocean waves. To my starboard clouds covered the sky
reaching as far as the eye could see, in the very distance lightening flashed.
An incredible contrast in conditions and an awesome sight to behold.
