Day 3 - Fiji to New Caledonia

We had steady winds in the 20 knot region all afternoon and then just before dark the wind swung more the east so we had to pull the genoa around onto the pole to windward. Still good winds though and making good speed. During the night the wind continued to swing more to the NE and so we headed more south to prevent having to gybe in the night. At 7am we gybed and the wind dropped so the engine went on. We had a quick squall with 20 knots from the SW and some rain (!) and now we are in zero wind motoring towards New Caledonia.
24 Hour Run: 156 n/m
Distance to Reef Pass: 200 n/m
