Twenty four hours at sea and all good. Light winds and slow going but this journey has begun. Next stop Minerva reef, in about 6 days time. Who can say when next we'll have our feet on NZ soil? Piet, our ever cheerful and willing crew, will be home at the end of the month.

[s]Nice motoring conditions. Wind played with picking up but as soon as I set some more sail, it died again. Big, slow swell. In the last gribs I got, I don't see the westerlies that I thought might get us all the way to Fiji so for now, we'll keep heading to Noumea.[END]

[status]A good gentle sailing night between 9 - 20knots with SE winds. About a 1 meter swell. Its good not to be motoring but still making reasonable distance. A few boats were around us last night, but we are by ourselves now. Both of us survived the first night and are not too tired. All Good!

[s]After a day of motoring in light contrary winds for most of Saturday, at 1800 NZST the lovliest SE-S wind of 15 kts appeared from nowhere (forecast for NE to N to NW to W, blah, blah). Spent the entire night on the most wonderful broad reach with boat speeds mostly 6.5 to 7.5 kts. This Sunday morning, wind decreasing. All well on board.
