Dear All,
We are getting closer! This afternoon we advanced
clocks two hours to New Zealand time, and with good breeze hlding we should
hopefully achieve a 170nm day. The weather has improved significantly and we
have been able to use full sails to make good 7.5 to 8 knots after a frustrating
night of calms last night.
Today we started getting the kids boffed up on
local foods - hokey pokey ice cream, Lemon and Paeroa saft drunk, and chocolate
fush. Pretty good, eh cuzzy bro?
Anyway, at present everyone has gone to bed to
sleep for as many of the hours to go as possible before we make landfall around
sunrise tomorrow morning.
Most importantly though, happy birthday to Denise
and Graham - both older, wiser, and.....
TTFN
