I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

[status] Yesterday's breeze was just teasing us - we sailed for about 3.5 hours and then it was back to motoring. Our previous motoring record for a passage was 90 hours (New Cal to Opua in 2014). That record is about to fall! In spite of that all is well on board!
