[status] 20171103 1800 UTC. 2 POB, Douglas & Morgan, all is well. Dolphins! After a night of below ~10 kts wind and boat speed of 3-4 kts, we decided to motor for a bit to avoid missing our Sunday 11/5 target for landfall at Opua, New Zealand. We have 155nm to go, and after a few hours of motoring to get back on schedule, we plan to turn the engine off and sail in with the better wind forecast ahead of us.
