Ship's log: We tacked to starboard tack to gain some easting before tomorrow's expected very light air. The winds have been fluky; one minute we're doing 90T, the next 110T. Bottom line is that we still haven't been able to lay the rhumb line to Opua, so this is taking a while and we expect many more tacks before we're in port. S: All's well...food's great; sun is out; sea's comfortable; getting cooler--so, long johns and boots!
