Other points of interest:
after about 11 days of E and NE strong winds but even stronger bigger seas than normally go with them we have had a mild 7 knots all day until last hour and sun out . You could leave hatches open and air below without spray from crashing bows going down below if you were not quick enough closing a hatch.
Sometimes a nasty cross sea would have come rolling in striking the side of Katipo with a great jarring noise and throwing up heaps of spray too.
Today peace , ticking along , wind vane as ever coping fine , clothes etc hung out to dry and making ground to East
tomorrow still light winds but should go SE and we may be able to use reacher sail .
We had read that the voyage to Rarotonga could be a challenge and at times it has, but all is well
