A day of frustratingly light winds! The wind slowly died and we persevered with the sails until just before noon when we finally lost all wind. Talking to all the other boats around us on the radio net they had all been motoring since 4am so we did quite well. We motored all day with not a ripple on the water. The wind finally started to fill in around midnight but didn't become sailable until 2am when we finally turned the engine off. Sailed the rest of the night making reasonable progress at around 5 knots, but with the wind from the NNW (SE trades?).
