[status] After a slow start out of Opua around noon with light southerly winds, the winds have backed to the SSE and now SE. Progress: 120NM in 18 hours. All is well on board. Morning Light and Carthago are nearby and Capitaine Cook, a cargo ship, is steaming by on route to Suva. Nice moonset and starry sky last night.

We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
