Minerva Reef

After a good night with 15 - 20 knots consistently from the SE, and reasonable seas, we have stopped for a few hours at the only stopping spot en route. It's a circular reef with one passage through to a 2 mile long lagoon. Therefore shelter is possible in any wind direction. Will be interesting to see it on Google World - apart from some nearbye bits of reef it is the only shallow water for many miles around.

So we have fixed what needs fixing, checked the rest, made bread and cake, generally tidied up, and had a bit of a rest. After lunch we'll head off again - there were 6 boats anchored here and all are leaving today.

Position 23 38 414 S and 178 53 492 W
