By 0530 this morning the south-easterlies we were expecting kicked in, so, up went the mainsail and off went the engines. By 0900 though, we started to encounter some squalls, so back out on deck to furl the head sail and reef the main. Fortunately the rain passed fairly swiftly and gave Paw Paw a nice freshwater rinse, but with slightly stronger winds than forecast, we decided to keep the main reefed before unfurling a full head sail and with that we had transitioned into the high pressure area - sunny blue skies with a scattering of puffy white clouds. Of course, with all this activity a few dolphins popped by to see what was going on. If the forecast holds we should enjoy these conditions until tomorrow night, following which the winds are expected to become light and variable as we reach the centre of the high. In the interim, we're getting the rest we need and making the best of our last passage of the season.
