PASSAGE TO PALAU DAY 5

1600 Hrs Local
Position: 06° 38 N 131° 52 E
Course: 084° Mag
Speed: 4.7 Kts.
Wind: Nil

We continue to motor along. I'm glad we have plenty of fuel. we were able to sail today for two short periods and without Miss Perky providing propulsion we would be drifting with our still favorable current.

It is quiet aboard as we have adapted to our 4 hour watch schedule.

Last nights ship contacts were with two Japanese ships, both having AIS and listed as pleasure craft. Most likely fishermen of some type.

Today's mystery was why a nearly empty water tank kept venting as i attempted to fill it. In stead we filled buckets and Kathy did some laundry.

All is well aboard and we have a projected arrival in Palau of Friday 2 Sept. in the morning hours.
