Merrily we motor along, motor along! Yuck. I would rather sail at 4 kts then motor a 6. This is like driving a caravan (RV) across country in first gear. Yuck.

Almost no wind through the night. Floating on the anchor, rolling some as the swell makes it across the reef. Not as bad as when we were in the Galapagos.

Moved to the NE corner for some wx. It wasn't fun. Singing in the rigging, bouncing all about during High Tide. Winds 30 kts gusting to 40 kts. Alll is well. The wx has passed.

Walked the reef again yesterday. The flow over was awesome with all the noise coming from the water falling into the lagoon.

Had a good Lobster fest with the RDM Whangarei crowd here. Gifts from another cruiser. We've not found or seen one here! More boat projects waiting on good wx to New Cal.

Getting a few projecst completed. Walked the reef yesterday. It is a good distance across and there is a during L tide a steady waterfall into the lagoon.

Yeah! The Sun! Blue Sky! Solar Power. Looking forward to some boat cleaning and clothes washing. Reading and bug hunting; that is getting a couple of lobsters.

Wow, Do I have IWS {Irritable Weather Syndrom}. Cloudy and rainy here last 24 hours! Yuck. And.... it is still not warm enough for us.

A little bouncy at high tide on N Minerva. Estimate plus or minus 2 hours of H.

Nice day yesterday ... relaxing winds and us. Started motoring last night. Light to no winds. This is a deolate part of the Pacific. Few birds no ship sightings.

Nice day today ... relaxing winds and us. 200 miles to Minerva. Two more nights!

Boisterous-Yes; Fun-No; Adventurous - Yes. A double reefed main and staysail doing 7.0 knots and an ugly sea. Can't wait to get North and motor!

Not the best night. Seas out of NE and another out of N. Single reef main and staysail only.

Winds have been forward the beam the entire way. Seas have not been too bad. Lots of spray. All is well. It seems to be warming up a bit. Mostly we've dropped a layer during the day.

A little boisterous night. Seas ok 1-2 meters. Warmer but still wearing 3 layers. :( Looking to 30 S where David from GHR say's we ned to get to today

Great day. Seas ok 1-2 meters. Water starting to look bluer! Once squid aboard. Still wearing 3 layers. :(

Boisterous day. Seas ok 1-2 meters. Winds W-NW 15 kts Baro 1016 Hope it starts to warm up soon
