Olivier left around 2pm PST. The condition were great with a light wind. Here is his log:
11/12 6:08pm Wind died at 1800 as expected. I am motorsailing without autopilot but the boat is so well balanced I barely touch the wheel every now and then.
11/12 6:14pm Swell is picking up. I hope to catch wind past the islands during the night. Watch strategy is to not sleep tonight but at sunrise when i can be seen better.
11/12 7:44pm Wind is back with a vengeance. Reefed #1. Still reaching pretty hard. No moon, plenty of stars. All dark but beautiful. Still impressive , sailing blind.
11/13 7:14am First night at sea as solo.There were wind and waves, some action. Mostly reefed all night. Managed to sleep 2 or 3 hours which is surprising good.
Feeling some dizziness but no sea sickness so far. Stayed mostly in the cockpit, it was wet and cold night. Not ready for the cabin just yet.
11/13 9:19am No wind, drizzling, Steaming full west. In full weather gear.
Here is the track map at 12:00pm
And the wind map at that time:
