More fun and games with the fuel; pumped out
another 3 liters of water and had the engine running again to
charge up the batteries, have yet to get the generator running, anyway as
we are so close to OZ it can wait. Another windy and rough night but this time
well reefed down, this morning some waves were up to about 6 meters in
height, following the depression south of us and heading for NZ ( glad we`re not
going there) and giving an amazing view of the ocean when we are
lifted up on the top of them. Followed by our friends the Shearwaters this early
morning, a real pleasure to watch them as they glide skimming the
waves after flying fish, also seen a massive looking Albatross crossing our
bow,` heading south, beautiful.
It is now already halfway into day 5, so our current
position is further than our day 4 log, we will make landfall in the morning,
all going well and are really excited.
96 hour log: 598 miles covered, 80 hours under
sail, 16 hours motor sailing, 172 miles to go
