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.

11am AEST on Saturday: 15 knots with the odd squally thing overnight, so reefed down. Heading for Noumea now, 70 miles from Amadee lighthouse. Still doing over 10 knots down waves with double reefed main and triple reefed headsail! We love love this boat! We'll arrive at the reef pass in darkness, and probably heave to until sunrise Sunday. All well on board.

[status] Departed Opua this morning for Tonga, hopefully the weather will allow us to stop at South and North Minerva reefs. Glen, David and Karl onboard. The winds are forecast to be light so a lot of motor sailing.
[END]
We are now an hour out of Opua and it's a beautiful day to start our adventure! Yachts ahead of us and behind us as far as the eye can see. All heading to Cape Brett and beyond. And all motor sailing at this stage in swells of about 2 metres.
