Foggy morning - day of departure Opua
Martin at the mast with the ornery genoa furler in 25 knots of northerly winds and pounding seas
rainbows at the occluded front and 25 knots of wind, still sailing upwind!
Rainbow appears as we start to push through the occluded front
Occluded front, low clouds are zooming past us, high clouds moving in opposite direction
Moon rise, trade wind sailing finally
Michael checks the trim

Our path to Fiji- you can see our last tack through the front, from there we were able to sail our rhumbline to Savu Savu
Land Ho!
