[status] Well we certainly managed to find the expected hole in the wind. As of last night at 9pm the engine came on and we started slow-motoring, and it has only stopped for a brief 45 minutes since then, when we had a squall come through with 15 knots (in the right direction, for a change). Its been wet, quite wet, as rain cloud after rain cloud has continued to drop their contents on us over night and through today, but we've managed to have faux-showers on the back deck which has been quite refreshing.

I'm hoping we're only 6 hours away from reaching some consistent SE breeze, but time will tell. All is good aboard, sealegs have been found, and plentiful fruit and vege are being consumed!
