24 41.94 S 7 16.38 E

Hello All,
We had another good day of sailing. This morning I got the yankee jib back up to pick up the pace a little. The wind was 10 to 15 knots so it was perfect for the big jib. We averaged 6 knots all day until this evening when the wind lightened up again. We are still doing 5 knots with a 10 knot wind. There basically is no swell so the boat is moving right along with very little wind. For the first time in months we are seeing a completely cloudless sky with an almost full moon. The day and this evening have been such a treat. It is days like this you are glad you own a sailboat.
The air temperature has been slowing falling. We had a high of 80 degrees today and a low as of tonight of 71 degrees. I forgot what this feels like.
We are half way to Opua right now and we are just hoping the weather holds out. The weather reports don't show anything bad so far so we will just see what happens in the next few days.
Well that is all for now and I will write again to you soon.

PEACE
