After the inevitable delays and fueling up we are heading straight out of the Bay of Islands and to keeping on going. Passage plan says to hold one heading - pretty well dead north - for 566nm so that is what we?ll do.

First night at sea and dawn is starting to insist itself into the eastern sky. It?s huge out here! Motor sailing for too long on light winds but going well downwind now in about 14 knots. Swell about 2.0 meters. Sun up, champagne sailing. Crew well.
