[s]A good start to the passage. Left Opua at 10.30 yesterday and flew the spinnaker until 17.00 when it all became a bit too sporting for that kind of bravado. Rolly downwind sailing but all very well on board.[END]
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
