West 16 knots for first 6 hours and moderated to 13 knots towards the end. The sea was choppy 0.5 - 1 m initially but became more regular after we passed Basse Jaune. Swell predominantly from west. Sky cleared in the evening and we had a starlit night passage. 

We motored out from the estuary and set sail with one reef in La Forêt Bay. We kept one reef in the main the whole way but during periods when the wind moderated we let out the jib and taking in a reef again when the wind picked up. We kept the boat speed above 5 knots for most of the way sailing. 

Diah was visited during her watch by a pod of dolphins. 

We arrived off Le Palais at 0600 and picked up mooring buoy #32 in the dark without problems as we could pick out the mooring buoys in the glow from the town.
