[status] Underway Tonga, 27 38 S - 179 36 E. NW filled in really well like David said it would, steady 18 for hours now switching SW. Made some good tracks, 11.4 top speed on surfs, nite watch coming up. Large area of dark menacing stuff to the East, trying to keep west of it and head North, does not look inviting so we will give it a miss if we can. Pretty good going for now. AGOB!

The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.
