[status]Sailing! Finally, after two days of motoring. Starboard broad reach directly to next waypoint. Busy night with sail changes and squalls. Now under reefed main and yankee jib. Main house batteries may need TLC, or more. They don't seem to be holding a charge. 678 nm to Bay of Islands (Opua). Otherwise, all is well on board.

The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.
