Wind went a little west of south and so we're able to easily motor-sail
direct to Bay of Islands. What a nice break! Seas are blocked by NZ. Cyndi
said something I found funny after we turned the corner at North Cape:
"Well, I guess we're going to New Zealand!" We weren't sure it wouldn't be
Oz until about that point.

It's been a very long trip!!! (Sorry about the excessive use of exclamation
points!) Nine days right now and we still have about 12 to go before we're
tied up at the Q dock. We went the long way around and we consistently had
strong current against us - usually 1 to 2 knots. We estimate that we
traveled an extra 250 miles due to adverse current.

More when we get tied up (hopefully that'll be in NZ!)
