[status] Someone in Opua left a fan on and we have been fighting a 15-20 knot headwind all night. Looking forward to a hot shower (for the other crew member). We have 40 nm to go to the Bay of Islands (if we could sail straight there) with an ETA of Friday afternoon, Nov. 21, NZ time (Thur night USA time).

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.
