[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

[weather] Winds N, NNE 10-12; seas NE 1i.5 m (short period), SW 2 m (long period); 30% cloud cover;bar 1019.28, steady.
