1300 Local Time
Position: 12' 29 N 157' 59 E
We are sailing along at 5.8 to 6.1 kts. the wind is from the ENE at 11 to 14 kts. We have settled into the passage and so have the cats. We are happy with our progress as we still are traveling mostly due north from Pohnpei. According to the Predict Wind routing app we are trying now to start to make more easting. We do not really have a set waypoint that we are aiming for but update the routing app twice a day and try to then follow the projected course.
We have had sunny sky's and no squalls of late. We are getting good solar power for the batteries though we run Miss Perky for 1/2 hour twice a day for our additional engine drive refrigeration.
Miss Perky was a bit reluctant to start yesterday and we have discovered some water in the port fuel filter bowl. A few days ago Kathy had noticed that the fill cap on the port tank was a bit loose. I have just drained water from the filter bowl and we will continue to check on it.
All is well aboard.
