[status] Kia ora lovely people!
The sun is shining, and we've had our first proper blue sky day today since like ages, and with the very, very light wind, its made for quite relaxing sleeping and sailing conditions, albeit very, very slow sailing. Yesterday I noticed the genoa had one of the top panels coming unstitched, so with the flat conditions today we dropped the sail on deck and made the repair. We're now ghosting along in 6-8 knots of breeze at the moment, and its all very nice, apart from our Opua arrival date pushing out a little further. Oh, and the vang which has developed a rather loud squeak. I hope its not a mouse.
In other news, Denis has shaved a moustache in, and I'm thinking about doing the same. Not sure if that will influence our check in procedures in Opua, but surely they don't screen for dodgy facial hair?
