[status] Sailed fast all night in S wind 12 to 15. SW swell minimal. Roger got the Moro bar for spotting Farewell light at 0515 and then land at 0630. Have to sail/motor slowly across Tasman Bay so we arrive at Queen Charlotte sound entrance at dawn for Saturday arrival Picton. Its a nonsense to have to sail past Nelson to clear in. The Nelson staff have to drive to Picton to clear us. All well on board.
[weather] Wind S 4 kn, sky clear, baro 1022 steady, swell 0, sea flat calm.

The wind and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigator.
