  385 miles to Opua (as crow flies). Our crow is taking a detour to better position for incoming SE wind. ETA noon 2nd NOV. Question for David....Is heading DUE south to get better angle on forecast GRIB wind still a valid strategy? Thanks Stuart

  All is well. Great days sailing yesterday and last night until 03:00 motored for 2 hourrs in rain until wind filled in.

  All is well. Great days sailing yesterday 10 - 15 dawn to about 14:00 then 15 - 20 until 22:00....then died to nothing. Passing Minerva, 15 miles to east shortly. Motoring since 02:00 Stuart

  All is well.  Wind filled in and sailing in confused seas. Heading for Minerva as it looks like we've missed our window for making for Whangarei direct. 126 miles to Minerva.
