With a great-looking weather forecast, we were up at 6 AM and headed to the fuel dock to take on about 1000 liters of duty-free diesel. After that, we moved to a different berth while waiting for customs to clear us out. It was a pleasure dealing with NZCS, and we were finally on our way at 12:30 PM.
The main sail we bought specifically for the delivery must have a flux capacitor or something! We've been flying along, making much better time than expected. We're averaging a little over 7 knots with around 15-18 knots just aft of the beam and seas of about a meter (happy now, Gary?). The St Francis 50 is proving to be incredibly comfortable.
It's still pretty chilly and I have been thinking about sewing some of the blankets we bought to protect the interior and making them into pyjamas.
