April 5 Enroute to Mangareva


Position: S23deg49min;W132deg57min. We're going almost dead downwind, doing a bit of rolling and slatting with our yankee jib partially furled and poled out to windward, our staysail just about midline, and our main with single reef out to leeward. We hope to arrive in Mangareva, in the Gambier Islands of French Polynesia, tomorrow morning, and have a quiet night at anchor for a good long night's sleep - the first one we'll have had in over a month!
