Slow/Mollo

Last night was weird..., the ITCZ caught up on us, we kind of exited it twice...
At 3:15 am, the wind came back, 5 to 6 Beaufort, but from the south-east, which is unexpected.
The fax of 1755 UTC from Honolulu got interrupted, so we did not know for sure which side of the front we were on... Everything told us we were north, except the wind direction.
Otherwise, the day has been slow. Pretty clear skies, but little wind.
There is a current taking us East.

The fax from tonight put the ITCZ back in front of us... Ah shit!

La nuit derniere a ete bizarre..., l'ITCZ nous a rattrape, de sorte qu'on l'a passé deux fois...
A 3:15 ce matin, le vent est revenu, 5 a 6 Beaufort, mais du Sud-Est, ce qui est inattendu.
Le fax de 17:55 UTC d'Honolulu a ete interrompu, de sorte qu'on ne savait pas a coup sur de quel cote du front on naviguait. Tout nous disait qu'on etait au nord, sauf la direction du vent.
Autrement, la journee a ete lente. Le ciel etait degage, mais le vent faible.
On a du courant qui nous porte a l'Est.

Le fax de ce soir remet l'ITCZ devant nous... Ah merde!
