[status]We've just tacked, and started heading back toward New Zealand. Now we get to live on the other slant for awhile. We're hoping to arrive in Opua on Tuesday 26 Nov (this is probably overly optimistic) or Wednesday 27 Nov. We're still enjoying sunny weather during the day and clear skies at night. I saw a tropicbird when we were farther north and am still hoping to see an albatross.
