Going to the House

02 December 2011 | Mansion House Bay
3 December 2011

After two days of mediocre service Vodafone dongle (not a naughty reference, Cal) became even more lackadaisical. Call to company produced no usable insights absent a store visit which was, due imminent departure from Opua and want of transportation, not possible. Despite dearth of 3G outside cities and resorts, Fiji had great service for less than half NZ cost, but it would still be a great deal here, cheaper than wifi networks and available nearly everywhere, if it worked. As a self-sufficient cruiser the reliance on technology is a sad and unseemly addiction.

Did not realize a "perfect downwind sail" included flopping back and forth under drifter only at 4 knots, something slightly less than envisioned. Today however, will be the more, better perfect downwind sail as wind will not be directly aft... unless it backs... if it blows.

Heading now into Mansion House, ergo the bay name, to find what is purported to be a coffee shop for purpose of ingesting mind altering drugs. Decaf is for wimps.
