All is well. We are presently broad reaching under reefed main and solent in 18 knots and confused 2M seas. We’re moving fast. 9 knots. Daggers at 1/3. We are headed to the barn! Another 200nm day! The third of this trip. Ok, it was actually 199.4nm noon-to-noon but I’m claiming credit anyway.
We’re routing west to 34:30S 174E to pick up better current before turning south to the entrance of the Bay of Islands.
The seas are beginning to smooth out. Finally, after 3 days of a real washing machine. Dave and I feel like eating for the first time. Richard has whipped up an amazing breakfast. Imagine cooking while standing on a basketball on tilt-a-whirl. That’s cooking aboard Roam right now.
120 miles to go.
Let’s hope it just keeps smoothing out!
