Motor sailing to maintain speed in northerly winds -direct downwind sailing which cats hate!! Speed needed to get in Wednesday. As soon as predicted westerly component comes into play at 10am today (Tues) we should take off. Current ETA 1300hrs 16th.

Motored for 24hrs yesterday (Sun). Light SE to E to ENE winds. 412nm to Opua. Must arrive Wednesday pm somehow!!! As soon as westerly component comes we should better the marks that Bob has given us for a Wednesday early evening arrival. Thats the theory anyway.
