We are currently about half way to Tonga and our current position is 20:32.51S 179:59.36W and you will note that we have just crossed into the Western hemisphere which went quite smoothly and with no silly King Neptune type antics aboard!!

 

Trip so far has been going well although the first day was a bit windy and bumpy and not as advertised but since then all been going well and we are now heading to Tonga so very happy.

 

Max (The Autopilot) caused us a bit of angst last night as it lost connection with its rudder angle sensor which meant it thought the rudder was hard left so it wanted to go hard right in circles.  After consulting the manual and with much furious button pushing it seemed to correct itself which was a great relief.  Max has been nominated as Crew Member of the Month on many occasions however, he is not looking so good this month.

 

 

Still on track for a Tuesday arrival
