17 April

Today's installment from Callisto:

Looks like this epic journey is almost done. I have decided to go to Hiva Oa which is South east and leeward of Nuku Hiva and the distance is 45 miles shorter. The winds are light and I would like to avoid being out until the 20th of April. We have only 150 miles to go to Hiva Oa and I can almost be sure of getting in during daylight tomorrow even at 5 kts which is all we've been doing for a while.
We will do a sail change at dawn and reach south under spinnaker which may give us more speed.

Current position is 8 33.8S, 136 42 8W, Speed 5.5 kts Course 240M
