Christmas Is to Cocos – Day 3

Pos 11.30S 99.43E, SOG 5-6kts, Wind 15-17ESE, Seas confused but low, cloudy. fresh tortillas, ryvita and soft cheese, tuna stir fry

Ahoy !

Day 3 sees us 170nmi from Cocos and 360 from Ci. It was clear last night but yesterday we had our first rain (since Queensland somewhere?) and this morning it looks we getting a little bit more.

Wind died to less then 10kts yesterday afternoon so we unpacked the main and sailed wing to wing with the big genoa on the pole, ok speed but sails slatting a fair bit. Now it freshened up again and we are moving fast but its rolly.

Nasi Goreng for breakfast and i think if will try Knoephla later. Needless to say, being the little fatty that i am, im thinking a lot about food. Claire is reading a lot, i watch a lot of Docu’s so the days are passing. Storm Petrel out.
