The wind today have moved more to the north and speed up to 10/12kts. It has dropped a lot this evening but the move have pushed us more to the west of our course line

Everything on board is good.
 
This morning around 6:30am when I was on shift, I looked into our beautiful horizon and saw the sunrise and the moon set. As my crew and I were on shift, controlling the oe and trying to stay on course was quite tricky and a bit hard, because the winds and swells picked up and our vaka started rocking side to side. When it was about 8am everything had just calmed down a bit and we started preparing breakfast for everyone.
 
After we finished having breakfast my watch captain called me up and told me that he had a job for me to do, and when he told me what to do I was like OH WHAAA because I had to clean and scrub our toilet where everyone goes to drop their recipe.
 
After I was done cleaning the toilet I hopped onto the oe with papa Kelvin and helped him steer and keep us on track. Just about our last 30mins on shift our vaka had gone off course twice doing a 160 degree turn. Luckily all the crew were up on deck to help us with changing the sails and bringing our vaka back on course.
