2007-06-18 (2nd)

Hi all; This will be short, just to get something away before it's too late
on the other side of the planet. The grib files said we'd have about 12
knots from the southeast. Since well before dawn it's been about 20 from
northeast. Not best direction. Took a reef in and furled some headsail at 4
this morning, and we're strapped in climbing over the lumps. Broke another
furling line, but it was easier to fix in the daylight with Karen up to
help, and with a better formulated plan. This one will get us to Savusavu.
Mom.great to hear about another little girl. Congrats to all. Antonia
Alexis; point taken. Will do better when it flattens out a little. Too
rough to think much right now. Present position, 18 deg 48 min S, 179 deg
16 min E, about 140 miles to Savusavu. Should make it by tomorrow afternoon
if we drive her. More tomorrow. ted
