Fiji-Vanuatu Day 1 0600H July 28, 201

We are currently at 18 36.11S,175 03.74E. Course is
240 degrees M and we are making 7.0 kts. Yesterday
was quite rough with winds to 30 kts, fortunately
behind us but we had some big swells and we are
rolling quite a bit. My electric jib furler failed
and the gen set won't start but we have back up
systems until I can get them both going again.
This morning the weather has cleared and the
wind is down. We had a beautiful moonrise followed
by sunrise and I'm sure I can get the genset to
start today. We have 2 days and 311 miles to go.
