[status]Able to sail first 12 hrs after leaving Savusavu yesterday. At 2100 last night wind went very 6-8kt out of NNE with a 2mtr E swell. Motoring since then until now (1930 24 Oct). With good sailing and motoring, we had a good first 24hrs run of 158nm. For a heavy sea-going yacht, that is pretty good for us. We're maintaining average speed of 6.5kts - so far. May be motoring tomorrow. Wind since this afternoon has gone variable and even lighter, swell reduced now to less than 1mtr, so no more aggravating roll. Course is 193T and going essentially on a rhumbline to NZ. Only 920nm to go to Opua Marina in Bay of Islands. Stay tuned.
