Noumea was looking tempting there for a while but we have places to be so we continue the slog to NZ. It's not too bad, we are now motoring in a 15knot head wind and actually pointing at our destination which makes a nice change and is good for the soul. The sea has become a gentle rolling one which is also nice. The forecast is for the winds to ease so we will speed up a bit when that happens, but were will be motoring and motor sailing for a couple of days. After that it looks like it will get unpleasant again and we will be slogging into it for the last day or two, hopefully not three!
A wave knocked us around a bit this morning and our fresh fruit smoothie went flying. It gave us something to do for a couple of hours as we took the oven apart and Shell tried to find the various nooks & crannies it had slid into.
Thx for the messages, its always nice to hear from home.
