[status] And the winner is..... Mr Hinton!! Nice work Al - we have secured some brown paper and are awaiting expectantly!! Now, about that Mahi mahi..
After ten solid days of consistent wind, we have hit a light patch - the motor came on for the first time earlier today for a couple of hours, and for the second time this trip we sighted another yacht, which we are currently working on passing in the light and shifty conditions - go Patea!

[status] Safely docked at SYC! Was mostly really good sailing broad reach for the last bit, apart from a sudden little rain squall with some lightning that had us dropping all sail for a short while.
Crossed the bar at the worst possible tidal state, spring low tide with water still ripping out of the channel. Not too bad though thanks to a very small swell at the moment.
