Via Inmarsat:

Finished long tack NW takingadvantage of unusual NNE winds. Now North in
latitude of Hiva-Oa again. New tack giving more West than South improving
VMG Waypoint. Now 280 nm to go.

Have run into the World ARC rally of 33 boats. Not happy since Hiva-Oa is
asmall harbor and small island. Know they are north of us from shore side
trackers but have had no AIS or visual contact.

Fair winds and following seas.
