[speed] 7.5 knots against 1 knot current
[heading] 200 T
[status] Great sailing conditions. Made 185 nm last 24 hours. Would heave to and fix the generator, but no sailor could tolerate being passed by other sailboats. However, should the batteries fail to power the espresso machine, we would have to declare an emergency and stop to repair the generator. 473 nm to Opua, NZ.
