Our last full day at sea and we are having a cracking sail after engine only
for almost two days. Clear sunny skies, little fluffy tradewind clouds,
calm sea and Barret in charge of the steering, as near perfect as it can be.
This morning we spoke to Moana Roa and Tulu on the net. They are leaving
for Bundaberg today although from different places so for one last night we
will all be at sea together and plan to speak at 1700 to check up on
progress. We have missed our evening nets over this passage; no-one to
discuss the catch of the day with. For us it is great news that they are on
their way because we will see them again before we leave Bundaberg and we
can all get together to celebrate crossing the Pacific together.
We are still on track to arrive around mid day tomorrow and have survived
our strange diet. Lunch was wholemeal wraps with bacon, tomato ketchup and
mustard mayonnaise followed by wholemeal wraps with sliced beef in red wine
and tarragon with red cabbage.
In spite of our best efforts we will have to throw some tomatoes and carrots
over the side but that is not bad at the end of a trip like this.
