There is a depression in front of us, but nobody knows where it is.
Best weather forecasters are seeking it here and seeking it there.
To save the embarrassment to ourselves wrecking boat in Niue we are looking for somewhere new.
No idea where we are going , maybe we will go more north maybe south most likely west but with a phantom low in the way all options are open.
200 lts of fuel, water maker for water and enough tins for more than a month. No panic to make land.
