[status] Arrived at Rotuma just at sunset yesterday, and we all enjoyed a full night's sleep at anchor. There is a huge ground swell coming into the anchorage here, so it's not ideal, but still much better than spending the night hove to.

The newlyweds have arrived safely back in NZ! Last night was a beautiful starry night, moonlight from 2am, with calm waters. We watched the sunrise together as we came past Ninepin rock. Now 5 miles from Opua marina. Will stay here in the "winterless north" for a while and wait for summer to arrive.

[weather]30% cloud, 7 knots SW winds

[s] Gentler winds and strong counter current have led to more motor sailing, more diesel consumption and a slower planned passage.
That said, conditions otherwise have been great – calm seas, warm sunny days, lovely moonlit nights and a decent sized mahi mahi (one thing the Aussie Biosecurity won’t confiscate!)

[status]As bands of gold and orange danced in abstract shapes by the PEREGRINE and the sunset began to fade, large phosfloresents and reflections of stars dazzled the glass surface of the flatly calm ocean like a spectacular tray of diamonds, THRILLER plays in the background and a large sea creature flaps it's fin in the distance.
