[status] On passage, Opua to Mana marina, Plimmerton. Just rounded North Cape. Wind just filled in after 6 hours motoring: neat to see it coming in from the North, waiting to see what it would be... Great time with a biggish pod of dolphins; got the video this time.[END]
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
