Marquseas - Tuamotus Day 2

We sailed (technically the sails were up and we were moving but it didn't feel like sailing due to the lack of wind!) very slowly until a big rain cloud rolled in and swung the wind around circles. We then put the motor back on and have been motoring all night desperately hunting for wind! We had a boobie bird land on the spreader just before tea and defecate on the decks - we used the air horn and a spare halyard to eventually move him off then he came back and landed on the mast head were he bent our wind instrument before defecating again and finally leaving us! Trip up the mast when we arrive then!
