The new Garhauer traveller finally installed and the cockpit all cleaned ! The torlon ball bearings in the traveller and blocks make everything run very smoothly...this will be a major improvement over what we had before.
The observsant among you may have noticed that the sun is shining !!..The wiring of the solar panels is all tidied up and they were producing 11.5 Amps today !
The sun maybe shining but its pretty chilly....
Yesterday I produced a bucket load of mushroom rissotto packed into individual meal containers, today even more spaghetti bolognaise, tomorrow I will produce 9 containers of chicken with stirfry vegetables and rice, for the passage to Fiji.
Weather is still coming from the north and the wind is quite fierce. Forecast is for it to die down on omnday sop our plan is to quit the marina on Monday, fill up with diesel and head up to Kawau Island then follow the usual route north to the Bay of islands, where we pick up Dan, our 3rd crew member for the trip.
