[status] Winds have dropped further so we've been motor-sailing the last
18 hours. Running the port engine makes hot showers possible. Yippee!

[status] Well, this is much more endurable! :). The sun is shining and the sky is blue. We have most of our sail out now, but will probably not see the whole thing this trip. We are cruising along at 8 knots with both sails reefed and that is fast enough.
We have formally notified nz customs that we are coming, so maybe the Orion will not buzz us, but we hope it does.
