At the moment we are not sailing the best course . The wind is fickle , in fact a little while back we were sailing along fine when within 2 minutes the wind direction shifted 90 degrees ! All is well on board however and better wind is forecast within 48 hours. We hear on the radio that the weather has been a bit grim down there in NZ , and boats which have been racing along from the north at higher speeds than Katipo must be finding it uncomfortable nearer the coast.
So we cooked an excellent vegetable curry for lunch and are ticking along quite pleasantly. As for fishing - this area of the Pacific has been totally fished out !!!!
