conditions eased off a lot in the last 12h. we have now 15-20kn and the seas went down too - lovely sailing weather!
our speed also decreased a little - but as we don't want to arrive in tonga in the middle of the night, we keep on going under headsail poled out only doing between 5,5 and 6,5kn directly downwind and keep the mainsail in the mast.
this morning we had another pod of whales - in total it must have been about 6 coming to say good morning to maloo.
one calf (about 10m) crossed the bow really close and came up to breath at the same time. i was lucky to stand right there....simply magic!
and hard to put in words how wonderful it is to see this! (i know i keep repeating myself ;)
