[status] As of 2016-11-17 15:00 UTC: Low clouds developed during the day to the west, but then receded later in the day. Wind held all day and had very nice sailing under double reefed main and staysail. We're moving gradually to the ESE to get a better angle to NZ after the wind switches around to the SE late tomorrow or early Sat. No squalls today and wind has been very steady.Will be interesting to see what its like out here when the waves build on Friday. Caught a nice mahi late this afternoon so we slowed down for a couple of hours to land and clean him.

The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.
