[status] 12 foot waves yesterday reduced to 6 feet overnight. Generator stopped working - probably a broken water pump impeller which is difficult to replace in these sea conditions but not impossible. In the interim, will use engines to supplement solar panels for charging batteries. Made 175 nm in first 24 hours with 637 nm to Opua, NZ.

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), it's always ourselves we find in the sea.
