[status]S/V PEREGRINE begins the 9 day sail to Vanuatu on Monday at 5:00 pm New Zealand time.
we're traveling at 6.5 knots on a 332 heading. We have traveled roughly 135 Nautical miles of our 950 nautical mile trip.
The weather conditions are clear, rolling seas with 1/2 to 1 SE meter seas. Happy the seas are not so big, yet the rolling can be annoying.
Today is Bill's Birthday. Happy Birthday to Bill. He is 68 years old today. All else is grand on board hoping to make a nice T bone steak dinner for the birthday boy...seas permitting...

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
