[status] Positions sent to YIT are our midday (NZ) position on the day of posting. Today was one of those days in the ocean that remind why you do it, light winds, slight seas and warm temperatures made for a perfect days sailing, capped with a perfect sunset. Mike was 'kissed' by a flying fish in the early hours this morning when it hit him squarely on the cheek and landed flapping in the cockpit, not sure if Mike or the fish were the most surprised - the fish got to live another day rather than go in the frying pan for breakfast. Motor sailing this evening in a flat calm.
[weather]W 8-10 knots, clear skies.
