smooth sailing

Ok we're past the heavy stuff for now. For you weather geeks we sailed across the "South Pacific Convergence Zone" It took three days. Almost constant squalls and rain with 20-25 knot wind.
Wind is back down to 12-15 knots and partly cloudy.
It's 75 degrees here which feels cold compared to the 83 day and night for the past 3 months.
1530 local 0230 UTC
S 17*42.5'
W 161*05.8'
We should arrive at Palmerston tomorrow around 1pm.
Read up on John Marsters / Palmerston Atoll if you're interested.
It sounds like an episode of the X Files to me.

  1. Looks like you won't be stocking up on supplies at Palmerston.
