Passage Day 1 - Bora Bora to Suwarrow Atoll

Rockin and rollin to Suwarrow!!! Been a fast straight downwind run. Still wing and wing, with genoa to port, main to starboard. Unfortunately looks like we'll arrive in the dark on Monday night, and have to heave-to until daylight to enter the lagoon. Trying to slow the boat down in this wind (20-30 knots) and seas (2.5-4.5 meters) just isn't effective. Still making around 7 knots with double reef and hanky of a genoa. All's well aboard otherwise. Happy to see the improvements we made to our reefing system in Papeete seem to have done the trick in solving the chafing problem. Fish report: zilch. Too rolly to fish today. Trolled all day yesterday with no luck.
