We had a good day today, sailing along with a steady breeze. The wind shifted in our favor around noon, and we were able to set our course directly to our destination. We have not seen any other vessels since we left Port Vila, and we enjoy the solitude and tranquility of the sea.
The boat is performing well, with no major surprises. We are averaging slightly over 160 nautical miles a day, which is a good pace on the open sea. We are monitoring our water consumption, and we have plenty for the rest of the trip. We also have plenty of food and supplies on board, so we are not worried about running out.
The wind is blowing at 15 around knots, and we are keeping it at 150 degrees to the boat. This gives us a comfortable angle of sail. The waves are moderate, and the boat handles them well. We have the main sail and a genoa up, and we are making good speed.
We take turns on watch, and we have an autopilot that steers the boat. We check the instruments regularly, and we also keep an eye on the horizon for any signs of weather changes or hazards.
We sleep in shifts, taking 3hrs each on watch. The boat is spacious and comfortable, and we have everything we need to make ourselves at home. We cook simple meals in the galley, and we eat together in the cockpit or the saloon. We also have some books, and internet to keep us entertained.
We are enjoying this passage, and we are looking forward to reaching our destination. We have about 6 more days to go, and it looks as though the weather will stay favorable.
