We have had an excellent day . We left Musket Cove fairly early as soon as we could clearly see the coral reefs ( we heard that 15 boats this year have hit coral reefs around the Musket Cove area !) and with a light wind start we were able to set the furling reacher which is a large red light weather foresail which gave a comfortable 7 knots at times and we were soon over to Denerau and onto our booked mooring. Tim was pleased as he had not seen the reacher in use and he took the helm. Most of the time he has been on board during this trip we have had no wind or head winds !
Tim and Joce fly back to Auckland tomorrow, it has been great to have them on board for the last couple of weeks.
Denise and I will be busy stocking up with water , diesel and food for the next couple of weeks. Denise has been busy arranging our voting papers via the internet for the NZ election !
