[status]As of 0500: Probably one the best departures for a passage ever. Left Port Denarau at 1135 Tuesday with afternoon sailing in moderate NW winds on a broad reach nearly on the rhumbline to NZ, with minimal swell and wave from behind. A very large squall brought fickle and confused winds and rain in the middle of the night. All is well aboard.

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), it's always ourselves we find in the sea.
