Tango enjoyed a great early morning thru lunch sail on the direct course to Opua today. 7.5-8kt SOG in a cooperative sea. At lunchtime someone turned the fan off and the winds died (as predicted). Currently we are motor sailing toward Opua. 367nm to go. We'll slow a bit to enter the Bay of Islands at first light on Friday 8 Nov and we should be tied up at the quarenteen/Customs Dock for breakfast. We plan to spend the weekend exploring Opua before we head to Tango's new home at Marsden Cove in Whangarie, NZ.
