The wind has been up and down but we have managed to have a good sail. Caught a Mahi Mahi yesterday which fought ferociously but is now bagged and in the freezer. There are quite a few yachts making their way to Minerva Reef that we can either hear on the VHF or see around us. Our ETA currently for Minerva Reef is midday. Bob McDavitt's report regarding the forecast to New Zealand is that due to some large Highs in the vicinity there will be little wind and what there is will be 'on the nose'. We have therefore decided to stop at Minerva Reef and wait for a few days until there is a little more wind to sail by on the way. We have plenty of food and even more since catching the obliging Mahi Mahi. It sounds like we will have quite bit of company there.
