[status]after three days of motoring with no wind we finally had a light breeze from behind us today and have started sailing again, albeit slowly. very peaceful drifting along in the sunshine under the big reacher and jib goosewinged. Trade winds are forecast to be back in full effect from tomorrow afternoon, should be a fast trip north from then on. We're getting lots of jobs done meanwhile in the calm weather - today i made a new remote control for the autopilot and completed the first stage of installing the new stern arch/seat which we started building back in auckland.[END]
The sea is the same as it has been since before men ever went on it in boats.
