We spent our first night as legally entered aliens in the Waikawa marina, toward the southern end of Queen Charlotte Sound. The skipper had his first night off from cooking duties as we made a bee line to the local tavern, the ?Jolly Roger?. A memorable and adequately lubricated night ensued followed by our first gloriously uninterrupted nights sleep since departing Tasmanian shores. The following morning after rising at a respectable hour, we ambled a little further up the Sound to Picton.

[status] Day 32 underway to the Bahamas. Not much to report. Sailing along nicely and we still have a 1/2 knot of favorable current. Seeing more cargo ships on AIS. Spoke yesterday on the radio to the watch person on a 333-meter tanker headed for Korea - that's a really long way to go!! All is well aboard. 397 miles to go to Mayaguana Island.
