A whole day of beating upwind to get to Victoria. Where are the SE headwinds when you need them? Sent from Iridium Mail & Web.

We had a good night with finally some good boatspeed. Seems that we got rid of the east setting current at last. 150 miles to go! We start seeing garbage in the water (bottles and such) so we are getting closer to land again.

Still sailing further S to anticipate the SW winds that are forecast. All good on board. Sent from Iridium Mail & Web.

Stormy night, but better than the night before: no rain and regular seas. We made good progress. Still dipping dipping further S because there is more SW wind in the forecast and we need a better angle to be able to sail to Victoria. Hopefully arrival Friday in daylight.

rough night again with a squall that lasted 4 hours and left us with confused seas. Still struggling against the SW winds. Where are the blessed trade winds? Sent from Iridium Mail & Web.

trying to get south out of the adverse current. But when the wind picked up a bit, we decided to sail leisurely for a while and accept te slow speed and (too) westerly course. When the wind drops again, we ,motor further south.

Arrived in Uligan, Maldives. We were temperature- checked and we were told that there is a state of medical emergency declared in the whole country. We have been denied a cruising permit until the 22nd of March. Quarantined in paradise! Hopefully, they will change their minds and allow us to visit uninhabited islands. We're happy that they let us in anyway.
