[status] 291nm to Cape Brett.
Course 105 degrees true, boat speed 5.5 knots, wind speed 18 knots from SSE.
We are sailing hard on the wind, trying to get South, but it is hard going.
All is well on board, may have to tack into Opua.[END]
The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.
