Wednesday, Thursday

Daylight came and the wind was still right behind us. So we kept the motor running. It wasn’t as nicer day as when we set off, mainly cloudy. Fatigue was already setting with B having a headache. As the day went on we ran into squalls. The weather continued the same throughout the night. It was getting harder to do the shifts, but as soon as daylight came it didn’t seem as tiring. Day two continued to be the same untill the afternoon when the wind shifted back to beam. Overall we did good time and late afternoon we sighted land. The sun was setting by the time we reached the atoll entrance and as soon as we got through the pass it was dark. We still had an hour of zigzagging through the reefs and bommies to get to the harbour. We called customs on thr VHF radio and got no response. Although the outer reef gave protection from the the swell it didnt stop the wind. We anchored off the main (only one)wharf and fell into bed.
