DAY 9: Another 153nm towards Djibouti

Wind ENE 10-15kt, Seas less than 1m from NE. Getting difficult to sail our course with the wind so far aft. Sails flogging in the quieter moments. Also had north setting current pushing us north all night. This is due to reverse this morning so we will hopefully be able to sail the direct course to Point B in the IRTC. Forecast for this week is slowly evolving into strong easterlies and 2.5m seas from late Thursday night as we sail the last 48 hours to Djibouti.
