Day 3 - NZ to Suva

23 May 2017 | 29 09.3'S:175 31.2'E,
The wind has gotten more consistent and stronger. Now that we are in the SE trades, we did have a few squalls come through around dusk, but we were able to track them with radar and avoid them. We are now sailing with our second reef in the main and our jib at speeds from 6-10kts. With the sea-state (a confused 2 meter swell) it is comfortable at 6-7kts and not so much at 10 or greater. We had nice sunshine this morning and the temperature tells us we are moving north. That said, I am still in long pants and a long sleeve shirt, though I have taken the second layer off. If you are following our track, you will notice that we have changed our heading more towards Fiji now. The tropical low off Fiji is now moving away from Fiji towards the ESE. We will follow in behind as it moves away and disipates. Our weather router (Bruce Buckley) is keeping on top of things and making sure we stay out of any trouble with the weather.
