[weather]SSE 20-25 knots, seas 3m, cloud cover 40%, barometer 1024
[status]Now heading only slightly to the west of our course for Opua. The wind and the seas are down a bit so things on board are more comfortable. We got an email last night from Flying Cloud one of the NZ yachts that left NZ for French Polynesia with us back in April. Flying Cloud left South Minerva about 3 hours before we left North Minerva and are now about 40nm somewhere to the west of us. So all looking much more cheerful here this morning.
