Timshel - Cocos to Mauritius day 2 and 3



Quiet day sailing (ie slow) wing and wing downwind. From the evening Radio Sched yesterday others further south had more wind (Misto back at Cocos had been fishing without success), so put sails on same side Port gybe and headed that way. Seemed to be a good move with reasonable sailing overnight and better winds this morning. Until we got under a cloud and the wind shift had us running wing and wing again and reefed, a sharp shower washed the decks a bit. After a very variable patch on the edge of the cloud now sailing well again. But everyone else has disappeared off into the distance. Note: Influencer should do well on this leg as she now has not 1 but 2 Australian Olympic sailors on board. Saw one fishing boat on AIS and visual but at least 6 miles off. More birthdays today - Brigitte on Pretaixte and Angela on Madrigal. Another yacht that was at Direction Island, Double angel has joined our radio net.
