Decided to just call it that: day 1. It's always the
same. No one really enjoys it (apart from possibly Nic, as she has discovered
the miracles of Stugeron and that we will all enjoy the sail in the end and it
will get better ;D). We have been in the lee of The Island Kingdom of Tonga for
some of the time, but the big Pacific rollers are present. Today's collection of
dishes for washing proves that eating or even just being downstairs is not a
favorite. It was: 3 mugs and a spoon. So two had coffees and
one had cereal out of a mug. Please refer to the blog from June re the Breakfast
Scale ;D
We had some of last nights pizzas we got from
the Deli in Neiafu, Vava'u before we left, so think dinner is sorted. Keeping
the main in the bag as the wind is due to change more behind us possibly during
the early hours of tomorrow. It's just easier. Still averaging 7 knots on a
furled headsail!
It will get better.
