…and the Mekemo atoll. What an easy night. We averaged 5.5 knots and didn’t have to tweak the sails much after they were reefed in the late evening. None of the surrounding dark clouds had any rain or much wind… just gentle trade-winds! I am not entirely sure how much sleep I had throughout the night. I seem to have lost ”SV Joint Venture” on my plotter. I did hail them last night as I had notice they had slowed down considerably and we were still going 7 knots. They had slowed to 5.5 compared to their normal 9.5. Their cat measures 14mx7m so it can fly on the water. Since they go so fast they need to slow down so the will reach their atoll at daybreak rather than in the dark.
Sun just peeked over the horizon and we have sailed another night!
