This morning we finally tacked onto starboard. We haven't been on starboard for 6 months, it feels so different. The only bummer of starboard tack is that the fridge is uphill, so you have to brace yourself for flying food whenever you open it.
Last night we motor sailed as the wind lighten. Now we are sailing with full main, staysail and genoa, and making great progress towards New Zealand. If all goes as planned we should be in NZ in 2 days.
On the food front, we are still eating like kings. We have to consume all fresh veggies and fruit and meat before NZ, as they will be confiscated, so we are trying to eat through everything. We have heard they will take all our dried beans also, but there is no way we will get through all of those, so I am not even trying. Currently Gigi is making beer cheese biscuits. Yum can't wait!
Fair sailing,
Julie
