Another exciting day on board Blue Moon as the wind has picked up to a consistently strong 25-30 knots from the North. The waves have doubled their size and are breaking against our hull making a very wet and uncomfortable sail. We've reefed the sails down to almost nothing and are still maintaining speeds around 8 knots as we pass the southern tip of India. We're constantly battling the endless stream of shipping that runs in this area and calling the massive ships on a regular basis to make sure they can see us on their radar, most are friendly and are happy to alter course if neccessary but trying to understand the different accents of the radio operators is pretty confusing...should make for an interesting night!
..282 nautical miles to Uligan in the Maldives!
