The wind picked up last night because of a series of small squalls that marched by me but my progress has still been slow. It has taken me 35 hours to cover 125 miles for an average speed of 3.6 knots. I have another 120 miles to go and I will not make it to Papeete by dusk tomorrow evening unless it blows a gale which is highly unlikely. All I can do is take what I am given and I'll get there when I get there.

All else is well onboard. No fish have been caught although I came across several flocks of birds feeding on bait fish. This often means tuna are in the neighborhood, but no one was home. Maybe tomorrow.
