We are so happy to be on the way again. Now we even have time to read a book.
Until this morning we had good sailing wind with 20 to 25 knots from South. Now the wind is slowly easing. We assume we will have to start the engine soon. Beginning with tomorrow there are about 20 knots from East forecasted. This will present us with a beam reach sailing toward Fiji.
Lutz acted today as plumber again. Our toilet did not work properly anymore. The pump was malfunctioning. Luckily we are carrying the required spare parts and in the calm weather the problem is fixed in a very short time.
