[status] Finally gave in and started the engine at 0540 this morning, and the wind dropped to under 10 knots from directly behind; last had the engine on as we cleared Navula Pass, 830 nm back. It was a good run, but we are the proverbial "horse to the barn" at this point - only 190 nm to go to Bay of Islands. We hope to be in Opua by dinner time tomorrow! All is well on board.
[speed] 6.5 - 7 knots

[status] Motoring, ETA to Opua 'Q' dock: late evening Friday (today). We celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday with roast chicken (no turkey), Richard's 'World Famous' mashed potatoes, and the annual playing of Alice's Restaurant Thanksgiving Day Massacre. Was lovely! Now, we have beers chilling in the fridge for the Q dock party tonight! So nice to be so close!
