Sailing downwind in the Indian Ocean

A clip of Liz helming s/y Esper half way across the Indian Ocean, part of our 1,500 mile trip from the Maldives to Malaysia. We're running downwind in WSW Force 6 (though if you look carefully our wind display shows us close-reaching, which is a lie as our display is faulty). Our headsail furling gear had packed up so no goosewinging here, I'm afraid, but with the NE currents we didn't need it. And hand-steering? Our auxiliary rudder fell off 500 miles into the trip! Should give you an idea of what it's like to sail mid-ocean in favourable conditions. See more here:http://www.followtheboat.com/2013/06/20/maldives-to-malaysia/
