The wind was still light this morning so we put the spinnaker up and finally got the boat moving at a reasonable speed, we managed to average 4 knots by lunch time. The wind the gradually filled in during the day and by night fall we were on a beam reach making 6.5 knots under main and spinnaker. We dropped the spinnaker at 10pm as the wind was edging NW and making it a bit tight and also increasing in strength. The wind stayed throughout the night although softened a little, but we have been managing to make 5.5 knots in what is now a NW wind (so much for SE trades?!). We saw our first ship last night at around 2am - the only thing we have seen except for Yacht Ohana 10 days ago since we left Galapagos.
