Everything is running
along like clockwork, the routine of the shifts are sinking in and we are all a
lot happier with life aboard and it shows in the food, there are improvements
made every dish.
The sailing is
pretty uneventful really at this stage nothing too taxing, the weather is
being kind to us, the sea swell is at maximum 2 mtrs mostly less than that
and the wind I think peaked at 15 knts on the first day and is due to come back
to that strength for the last days slog into
Manihiki.

We topped up the fuel
tanks after the first days motoring and managed to pretty well top them both off
with the 180 ltrs we had after our first litter adventure up north, we did
all the normal checked the engine fluids and topped up the engine we about 2/3
liter. Which is fine we have more than enough spare engine oil to live with that
sort of minor consumption.
Well that's about all the
news we have up to date.

Natua, Ian &
