[status] Last year we got acclimatised to the heat of the tropics because every day was getting warmer and warmer. With all the rain we have had on passage, it?s been cooler and we?ve still slept under a single blanket at night. Maybe it?s cos we also had a breeze from moving, even though the boat hatches were all closed to keep all the torrential rain out. Now that we are anchored up, it?s very still and very hot! 32 degrees today. The water is a cool 25 degrees and is lovely. Sorry! Just thinking about how cold it is in NZ now makes the last 8 days passage seem worth it .... almost .... ok, so give us another week or two and we?ll be up for another passage again - but not just yet! Just goes to show how smart we are!! There?s a saying: You come out of the Harbour fat, dumb and happy, and then get pasted! Hahaha
