[status]Glorious sailing right now - the wind has backed off a tad and the sea state is a bit more settled, and we have a gannet catching the thermals off our heady looking for breakfast. The wind is supposed to get a bit more east in it today, which will be nice - means we can aim a bit closer towards Opua! Our passage buddies Sel Citron are about 10nm behind us and we could see their nav lights during the night. Our crew, Jo and Mods, really are the crew from heaven (sorry Maunies!). Yesterday we were treated to Jo's freshly baked date scones, and a delicious meatball dinner created by Mods.

There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.
