Day 3

12°00'S. 143°19'W.  492nm to go

4.15am

I sit here trying so hard to open my eyes and focus, man I hate getting woken up, at this ungodly hour, and after only three hours of broken sleep.

Several times it rained through the night, so I was jumping up and down zippering covers up and down.

We are now motor sailing, as there is still no wind, to speak off.

5.30am

Am sitting here still, trying to stay awake, the loss of sleep over the last few days has finally hit, and I'm feeling like I could just lay down and sleep for days straight.
At the moment I'm watching the sun slowly start to peak it's head out, it's looks as tired as me, and struggling to break through the mass of clouds around. But it is pretty, you never get sick of watching it rise, and turning the sky with pinks, orange and yellows.

It's been a day of storms, rain, and very little wind.
I have not done a great deal of anything, have just hit that brick wall, I so need some sleep.

the Captain has been changing sails on and off all day, we even motor sailed for awhile as well.

As for the fishing! Nothing not even a single flying fish has landed on deck.

Well tomorrow is another day.
