[status]Motoring with main up. Not enough wind to be motor-sailing.
Motoring since 1900 yesterday as wind died away. This morning finds the wind beginning to hint at NE, with confused seas from recent squall. So motion aboard is rolly and chaotic. Not terrible, but not the nice even rock of yesterday reaching on light SE winds. Various squalls about this morning. Just spent last hour dodging one with a jog to the east. Ocean is 26.2c. In the cabin it's 23c and 70% RH this morning. 444nm to Tikitiki Island at entrance to Bay of Islands. Next goal is to avoid sailing directly over Tui Seamount. All is well on board.
