[status]Underway NZ to Tonga, departed noon today, Aug 8 with Carmina, Spirare and Tiger,,,guess who pulled away,,not us.. Tiger did a horizon job on us all. All good, lost a reef line out of the boom so will have to re reeve that in the daylight, who tied that knot? otherwise fine, Gwen asleep. Heard maritime radio call up a gale warning for Cape Brett, better push a bit harder to get N and E, need some northing to get under the headwinds in the am from that pesky little low off Cape Rianga. Should be light to moderate winds after that.
