[status] Motoring, calm with a rolling swell. Seem to be sitting under a high. All well on board. Will press on direct to NC at the risk of having to motor most of the way. We calculate that we have enough fuel and DVDs to make it from here.

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!
