Passage to NZ: done (short post)

Just a short note to say that I'm in Opua, at anchor, starting to rest comfortably.  I'll fill in a few details in the next day or two - everything went well.  It strange, when I arrive after all my passages I always feel just fine - alert, coherent, able to make decisions.  Shortly after arriving, I start to slow down, and once that happens, the crash is not too far away.  I'm looking forward to sleeping a solid 8 or more hours for the next few days.

I finished the passage in 10 days 19 hours.

All is well aboard!

      You know, I hardly take pictures while underway anymore. Its hard to capture the moments. I took some video, which I'll preview to see if there is anything worth showing...

    Congratulations on yet another fine piece of sailing/weather analysis and navigation. Get some sleep and enjoy a meal "not from a can".
    Love, Gord

      Thanks Bro. I've taken care of the sleep part by now, and tomorrow I plan to finally head to shore and look after the food side of things!
