[status] It was cold last night, but the chill in the air was definitely gone. It feels warmer today too. We?re still waiting for the wind to turn to the east so we can head north to Minerva instead of to the Kermadecs. Water temperature is up another 3 degrees as well. Haven?t seen any flying fish yet, but lots of bird soaring over the waves and making it look like fun. Sea state has settled. Still have long ocean swells but less sloppy and lumpy. Is kinda fun surfing down the wave face. Haven?t bothered putting a lure out the back yet - fridge and freezer are both full to the brim, but maybe once we get closer to Minerva. All well on board.
