[status] Hello the world!
Thanks all for sending through the news on Biden v the Orangutan - tis great news indeed! And sorry to any orang-utans that took offence to that comment - I'm sure you are much smarter than oranguman!

Thanks also for the lime recipes - hopefully we'll get that started today!

The wind dropped to less than 5 knots, and came from all over the shop last night, and we've had the motor on and off to get us through the light patches. Were now beating upwind into this low which is about to cross over Northland, which will likely bring with it some strong head winds and uncomfortable conditions aboard Pates. We're battening down, and hoping our genoa repair will withstand the onslaught. We're getting close, but this low is a hurdle which could add a day or more to
our transit time - time will tell! Ready to be tucked up in Opua that's for sure!

Hope alls well on land!
Love and hugs Team Patea
