[status]Day 3. Only an hour away from Minerva! Feeling excited. Also weird to be dropping the anchor soon in the middle of the ocean with no sight of land. Feels like the right decision to go in and wait for more favourable weather to get to NZ. We've had some easy sailing in the last 48hrs. Good full sail reaching conditions. Another yacht behind us in the night but lost sight of them when they turned their nav lights off this morning. We thankfully just lost a really big fish on Mike's lure. Hopefully plenty to be got in Minerva. The bread has gone mouldy but all good with the crust cut off. I'll be able to bake some soon. All well onboard.[END]
