We are now 497nm from Auckland harbour. Another nice day today, clear skies and the water temperature is now 26.6\u00b0c.

After reefing down to number two last night the wind was mainly light, below 16 knots. After slightly higher winds late this afternoon we have reefed even further … just in case… Hannah and Tony had their first practice with the fishing line today, it shall continue to be called practice until a fish eventuates. Some of the crew are hearing new creaks and groans from their bodies that they hadn’t noticed before and all of us are sporting new bruises.

Everyone constantly appears drunk despite the lack of alcohol and cooking is somewhat of a profanity laced spectacle.

Andrew’s turn tonight with apricot chicken.

In response to a comment, Tony didn’t bring the bread maker it was already onboard.

Thanks for the comments, keep em coming. Just don’t forget your name so we know how it’s to be taken.

Good night all\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
