[status] Merry Christmas Everyone!!! Well, our days of pleasant motor sailing are over. We had about eight ours of pleasant sailing yesterday, then the front crossed us. Wind went form 20 knots from the north to a 20 knot southerly within about 5 mintues. This made for interesting seas! Flying along now in very uncomfortable seas, heading for North Cape to try to get in the liegh of some of the wind and seas. It?s 220 miles ahead still. We hope to make Opua the morning of the 27th. We?ll see if that happens.
