Another beautiful day and night sailing and occasionally motoring over a flat sea and under a completely brilliant sky (brilliant blue during the day and brilliant stars at night).  We can see New Zealand now and are only about eighty miles away from our destination.  We will not get there before dark tonight though, so we plan to slow down and time our arrival so it will coincide with first light on Thursday morning.
 
All is well aside from the cold.  Several days ago we finally broke out the full cold weather gear and have been using it to bundle up each night .  Last night I was sporting five layers - thermal top, wool shirt, sweatshirt, fleece, sailing jacket.  Don was sporting four layers.  It was 66.3F.
 
More tomorrow after our arrival in Opua.
