[status] Glorious day of sailing yesterday under sunny skies, fairly calm seas, and fresh breeze. Wind went light last night at 2030 hrs, and we started motor sailing. On a somewhat more westerly corse now, as we expect to encounter a frontal system on Wednesday morning, followed by fresh southerlies; will need to tack ese to sail them, then tack sw towards Opua when the winds back to se. All is well on board.
[speed] 5.5 - 5.7 knots (motoring)
