We had wind on the nose most of yesterday afternoon and into the evening keeping our speed down to 10 knots. Overnight the wind swung around to the West and on to the North. At 6am today we put up the main and genoa and have been motor sailing in pleasant conditions since. We are just waiting for the wind strength to increase slightly so that we can turn the engine off. This morning we saw our first flying fish confirming we are back in the tropics.
