There was a penguin in the cockpit this morning: that's how cold it is. Southerly winds bring refrigerated air up from Antarctica but that's the wind we need to send us on our way up to the islands. An armada of yachts left this morning all heading to either Fiji, Tonga or New Caledonia.  The wind is light which is kind to allow us to settle into passage making mode.
