with Isabel and Mark is underway from Anse Amyot, the false pass at the North
end of Toau to Point Venus anchorage, Tahiti. Time for a bit of boat
maintenance and maybe a cold craft beer!
Current
numbers:
S16* 51.2’ W148* 14.6’
SOG 6.3 kts, COG 243 T, wind ESE @ 12.5 kts, seas ESE 0.5 meter, current flowing SSW 0.9 kts, baro 1017.5 mb, cabin 25C @ 75% RH, water 27C, sky sunny with scattered puffies.

SOG 6.3 kts, COG 243 T, wind ESE @ 12.5 kts, seas ESE 0.5 meter, current flowing SSW 0.9 kts, baro 1017.5 mb, cabin 25C @ 75% RH, water 27C, sky sunny with scattered puffies.
Departed
with full main and screecher, averaging well over 7 knots until 0100, then
reduced sail to full main and jib as seas got a little lumpier and apparent
wind approached 15 knots (screecher limit). Cost about 1.5 knots SOG but more
comfortable ride and less load on the rig.
Wind
forecast from GFS has been fairly accurate, better than ECM. Swell direction,
size and period much more favorable than the forecast.
ETA
Point Venus anchorage 2200.
All
is well on board!
