Its been a fast, good sail since after the bumpiness and winds of the first day and a half. Day 2 we did 188nm noon-to-noon, day 3 180nm. Both good runs. We made it through the 'compression zone' with no real drama. 23kts plus gusts and a few unruly seas. Two reefs in the main and partial furled jib. We are now into the wind and sea shadow caused by Madagascar. Winds are 12 kts or so and we are making about 6 kts toward Mayotte. Depending on how quickly the winds shut off completely, we will probably make Mayotte by late tomorrow.
