We made it to Opua, had to motor for the last four days due to head winds or light winds. Will be moving down to Gulf Harbor in the next few days to start our maintenance schedule, haul out, Repair SSB Pactor Modem, Rigging inspection and prep for the next leg in March. Didn't break much other than the pactor modem packing it in during the crossing. Our Spectra Watermaker is also acting up. When it flushes it does not turn off. Also the wind generator is sounding like a big fly buzzing around your ear. Something thought our towed generator looked good for lunch and it is now on the bottom of the Coral Sea. Don and Marie
