The sailing so far on this passage has been almost ideal and I don't expect any change before my arrival in Tonga tomorrow morning. The wind has been 10-12 knots on the beam and the sea height has been dropping since my departure yesterday afternoon so that now there is a 5 ft. swell with a period of 9 seconds. The ride has been very comfortable, there is no rain in sight and the sky has some large cumulus clouds typical of steady trade winds. Sand Dollar is now 75 miles from landfall which puts me into "New Potatoes" before noon tomorrow.

All else is well onboard. I will not start fishing until tomorrow morning at daybreak. There are still some ahi tuna steaks in the freezer.
