Day 10

Today we passed the halfway point to our planned stop at Penryn atoll. The GPS/chartplotter gives us a constant readout on miles and time to go. When surfing down a wave at 13kn we have five days to go and when the wind dies a bit it reads twelve.

 Interlude’s sailplan is back to wing and wing with some adjustments made to prevent sheet chafe from the pole. The seas are down a bit but still quite confused and keeping us from leaving things on the counter. At least the Mixmaster is not leaping from the galley to the nav station like it tried to when Katie made banana bread.
