Windy night/Du vent cette nuit

Windy last night, a good steady 6 Beaufort, from the east. We came up a bit, to make sure not to miss Kiritimati, and there is about 1 knot of current, taking us in the South-South-West, not exactly our route...
We begun the night with 2 reefs in the main, staysail and yankee, then mizzen, staysail, yankee, then one reef in the mizzen, staysail, yankee, and at the end, only the two jibs, staysail and yankee.
The main is back up with its 2 reefs in this morning.

Il y a eu du vent la nuit derniere, un bon 6 etabli, d'est. On a loffe un peu, pour etre sur de ne pas louper Kiritimati, et il y a un courant d'environ 1 noeud, qui nous porte au Sud-Sud-Ouest, pas vraiment notre route...
On a commence la nuit avec 2 ris dans la grand'voile, trinquette, yankee, puis artimon, yankee, trinquette, puis 1 ris dans l'artimon, yankee, trinquette, et finalement, juste les deux focs, yankee et trinquette.
La grand'voile est de nouveau en l'air ce matin, avec deux ris.
