[status] Boisterous sailing again yesterday as the wind remained in the 23-26k range, dipping around 20k for short periods, with rough seas and the occasional 15' wave. Conditions moderated after dark, settling in at 15-20 knots after midnight making for a restful night. Nice sailing this morning under blue skies and calmer seas. What a difference a day makes! We feel a distinct change in the air - pleasantly crisp like fall, only it is spring. 415 miles to go to The Bay of Islands.

[status] We are anchored off a small island with a couple of good dive sites. It is a busy place as we generally have 2-6 dive boats here diving with tourists aboard liveaboard boats. We are going to do 2-3 dives today and explore the areas. Our dives yesterday were interesting, but not as good as some of the dives we have done father north. All is well and we are still enjoying Raja Ampat.
