Two To Tango in the Wind

Janet and John Harrington's blog as they sail Tango from San Francisco, CA (USA) to the South Pacific, Tonga, New Zealand, back to the US, and beyond.

Sailing to Minerva Reef

Tango sailed with reduced sails through the night making 4.5 to 5 kt. We have put out 1/3 main (3rd reef), 60% Geneao, 60% staysail and we are scooting along at 8.2 kt in 18kts of wind. Ride seems ok, a bit bouncy and rolly in 6-8 6ft sloppy sea/swell most on the beam. 160nm to N Minerva Reef. ETA 10AM tomorrow, Tuesday 29 Oct. All is well.
