[status] On passage to Valdivia, Chile from Auckland NZ. Day 18. Ana here. I'm in a particularly buoyant (pardon the pun) mood. This is because today I washed my hair. The second time since we left NZ. I have a theory that hair doesn't get any dirtier after it reaches a certain stage. However I'm reluctant to test this theory for the complete voyage. Other reasons to be cheerful: 1) the sun shone, the sea sparkled, and we had 23 knots of wind behind us; 2) the water maker did it's job and we now have full water tanks; 3) the wind generator is doing a great job, and remains silent and vibration free (thank you, Roger!!); 4)Colin and Lucas did not have the boat's whole tool kit out today, just some of it.
