Timshel - Vanuatu to Australia Day 2



Gentle sailing for most of the day wing and wing with the pole but at least we are sailing if rather slowly. Later wind came round again so that we are on a reach, with 3 white sails (main, yankee, staysail) and making much better progress. Good sunset with green flash. Shame we dont have a moon for this passage. By morning had to reef, difficult to get the hydravane to steer in these conditions as a small difference in heading or wind strength alters the apparent wind so much. Cooker is still sort of working and we can find no leaks, everything e.g boiling the kettle takes ages and probably not strong enough to use oven or pressurize the pressure cooker. Just about to try making stove top bread.
