[status] The fantastic sailing continued until the wind turned light from the North East so the motor was turned on at 9:30 and we expect that will continue until late tonight. Reasonably flat seas so we continue to make good progress. Very light sky last evening with a first quarter moon and plenty of stars. The yacht Storm (larger catamaran) sailed close by for many hours in the early morning before they scooted ahead.
Paul threw the largest flying fish we have ever seen off the deck this morning. It obviously was flapping around for some time as there was blood in many places. Gigi is looking forward to her wash-down in Opua
