The winds dropped a bit yesterday and it took us a while to get our heads wrapped around the fact that it really was not hitting 30 knots anymore so consequently did not raise the kite until 2:30 pm. Our delay caused us to lose a bit of time so only did 192 miles leaving 727 to go. Today the wind seems to be strong enough that we will not need the kite but it's still early. We are pretty much due south of Fiji at the moment. We passed into the eastern hemisphere last night. It was squally this morning but is now sunny again. No fish.
