[status] Arrived safely with anchor down before sunset on Saturday at North Minerva Reef. Early AM it appeared there was no chance we would make it in before dark and would have to stand off for the night. Plan B, sailing directly to NZ, was taken off the table due to developing weather systems, but door number 3 magically opened when the wind gods shined upon us with freshening breezes. The good ship WH was up to the task, galloping along at 8-10k to get us in on time for a wonderful night at anchor. At 30, she might not be as pretty as she once was, but she's still a joy to sail!
