Last Night at Sea
07 November 2010 | En Route Opua Day 8
November 7
Wind never quite went sufficiently east for direct sail to port, but still managed to do a little of that sailor sh... stuff and now doing motorboater stuff. Currently motor-sailing with just enough breeze to help a couple of tenths. Weather cleared off last night for a beautiful Milky Way sky, but it was coooooold. Suspicious this is related to calling them cold fronts.
Expect to hear fossil fuel related sounds until arriving at Opua customs dock around 1430 tomorrow. Thanks again to Irv and crew for providing a floatout to make this possible.
Still experiencing sleep deprivation and so, to the delight of millions... well, thousands... alright, a long suffering few, will again attenuate this missive, prepare for sleep and let the crew stand night watch.
