[status]North set current that has been against us at 1 ~ 1.5 knots for two days seems gone.
Cabin 22c & 80% RH, so much cooler. Long fleeces and warm slippers now. Still sunny days and yesterday was glorious sailing reaching with yankee jib, staysail and reefed main, tempered only by that pesky north current. Now racing to the barn before the south winds. All is well aboard.

[status]Noon readings. Scooting along at 8-9 knots on a beam reach in lots of W wind. Waves frequently washing our deck, occasionally our cockpit. Discovered some hatches that weren't tightly shut. It wouldn't be a trip to NZ if we didn't have some saltwater in the cabin. :/ Hoping that the promised NW wind will fill in soon which should make life more comfortable. We changed our destination to Marsden Cove Marina. Still looking to arrive afternoon 4 Dec. SCOOTS can smell the barn....

[status] We had a glorious night of sailing, steering a course 000T doing 7kts in 15kts from the ESE with 2m short interval confused seas. Crossed the equator around 8pm offering Neptune a stiff shot of spirits, but abstaining ourselves from joining in on the shot. All is well aboard, although seriously looking forward to lower temperatures and less humidity.

[weather] Winds are ESE15, 25% cloud cover, 2m short interval confused swell. Barometer reading is 1014.

[status]Sailing again! Dave on s/v Rewa is still sailing along nearby; it's nice to have a friend to chat with on the VHF out here. We're considering changing our destination to Marsden Cove instead of Opua, to take advantage of the favorable winds at arrival time. All well on board.
