[status]What a fabulous day of sailing we had yesterday. Kiapa was in her element, gunning along at 8-9k in 11-14k of breeze and so munching up the miles - pity it was still in the wrong direction! We spotted Norfolk Island around midnight but now, at 6am the island is way back on the horizon. During the night the breeze had a tad more east in it, so we were able to change course and head a bit more towards North Cape. Phew! Right now we are motor sailing, which is good as it gives us the opportunity to make some water, charge stuff etc. Yesterday conditions were comfortable enough to play a few rounds of different board games - Rummikub and Pictionary. One thing's for sure - the 4 of us are hopeless at drawing. When a leopard looks like a spotted cow, a guard dog looks like a pig, a bolt is thought to be a tornado, and a bathing suit a fox we realised none of us would ever earn any $$$ from our sketching. Can you tell all is very well on board??
