[status]we motored through last night but we don't want to arrive in rapa in the dark so now we are conserving diesel and waiting for the wind, planning to sail into Rapa at dawn tomorrow. Mark took advantage of the calm to climb the mast yesterday on a successful mission to sort out a problem with the jib halyard.

[status] We have been motoring for 18 hours since leaving Marsden Cove at noon on Thursday, local time. We have been spewing more fumes than a VW diesel automobile - well, not THAT much. Hopefully, the wind will pick up later today, but we may be like John Travolta (Urban Cowboy) and looking for "wind" in all the wrong places. All well on board.
