Not a huge wind shift, we’re still sailing upwind and heeled over on our ears, but since about midnight last night our projected course actually intersect New Zealand.
Unlike the last three days, when our course intersected either Fiji or Antarctica.
So for every mile sailed today we actually ended up a mile closer to New Zealand! Yee-haw!
Of course it is still from the Pain-in-the-Tuchas zone and we’re heeled over pounding into waves. But we’re getting there faster as we go slowly?
