I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

[status]Day 7. We've just seen a whale breach! Currently sailing downwind with the jib and mizzen. The morning drizzle is giving us a break. Last night got pretty uncomfortable with confused seas. We've still current against us. ETA will more likely be Sunday. REALLY looking forward to getting there. Dreaming of avocado and bacon (the free range variety) on Burgen toast and fresh berries. All well on board.[END]

[s]22 miles from the entrance to Bay of Islands!!! Nice day yesterday, though motoring the while day. The current giveth and the current taketh away. We were gifted 74 miles by the current this trip. Today, it's taking a little of that back: 4 miles. Oh well. The current in our favor was wonderful while it lasted, and it lasted a long time. We hope to clear in today. Oh joy... restaurants!!![END]
