Passage Aotearoa (Day 4)

04 May 2015 | 208nm N of Cape Reinga, SW Pacific
Dave
Conditions still fresh and not the easing we were hoping for, or shift to the north. Or sunshine. But very good progress. Just over 160nm for the day. Let out bit more jib, and mainsail got bit more shape in it when reefing line slipped a bit. So sped thru the night at 8kts. Crew very wet & tired. Skylight leaks a lot, despite some pre-leaving work on it, and wet gear everywhere. And has not been great for sleep. Tried to talk them into pushing on to Nelson, because forecast looking good for that, but our Aucklanders not having a bar of that. (Xanthe has moved from Lyttlebum to Auckles). Fair enough. I think a hot bath is uppermost on their minds. Jack wet & tired too, but has remained cheerful throughout. What a champion! Truly it is said of 'Brigadoon' that she has a great First Mate. And everyone has got over the seasickness, which is all to the good. Only 200 odd nm to Cape Reinga! Hasn't been a great trip for home comforts, but progress has been excellent. Full moon sighted intermittently thru the night, and great dawn sky. And an albatrossy thingie. City of Sails, here we come!

Instead of going through the Dumuran passage, like last time through the pearl farms. We decided to head around the island. Friendly place
