[status]Nearly there! Just munching through the last of our supplies - there's been a rush of using up fruit, veg and eggs. I attempted to do something with the cabbage but couldn't muster the enthusiasm after ripping off the first 10 layers. Our ETA is 1800 local time to Opua - no doubt we'll be docking overnight on the quarantine dock but we'll be in good company! Sunday's planned party for 'Minerva Reef fleet' is currently up to 60 odd people! I note I've not included many sailing references here, so, erm, we are motoring with just the main up. The sea is very flat and the wind is coming from behind. I think that's everything.

A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.
