[status]We've been motoring since midday today when the wind went to the south and dropped to 6 knots. There's still a sizable swell from the SW so we're jumping around a bit. It's been a sunny day, typical of the centre of an anticyclone, but the sky this evening has a liberal dose of cirrus indicative of the approaching front. I'm expecting enough NW wind by tomorrow afternoon or evening to start sailing again. Our ETA Opua is still Wednesday night hopefully before the serious frontal winds arrive.
