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.

[weather] as at 1345 hrs 19/11/19. In a word, HORRIBLE. Up to yesterday we enjoyed motoring in light winds and calm seas. Last night we hit the front, or I should say it hit us like a brick wall - that's accepted meteorological terminology. Winds SE 18-25 kts. Swell SE 2 mtr, but somewhat confused, lumpy & bumpy. 100% cloud cover. Baro plummeted to 1010 from 1015 24 hrs ago. Temperature has dropped to point I can't sunbathe in the cockpit anymore. Welcome to NZ.

[status] Getting our sea legs after our first night at sea. Leaving Navula Pass we had plenty of wind 15-20kn and choppy 1m seas, but these calmed down to 12kn and 1m seas for a pleasant night. This morning we awoke to nearly-flat seas and no wind. There is plenty of wind in our future. Miles gone 146. Miles to Opua 912. A small private jet just circled us three times before flying away toward Fiji.
