Today brought the end of the terrible threes. It took us three days to work through the three hundreds and today around 2000 we crossed from 300 miles to Whangarei to 299, bringing an end to the three hundreds. Not much to report today, it started and stayed cloudy all day. We tacked over to a starboard tack to try to take advantage of the shifting wind (12 knots from the south southwest) and managed to see some two and three knot VMG, finally we were moving again and the weather forecasts is calling for improved wind conditions over the next two days. To occupy our day we worked on the website, read aloud from our weather book, played cards (the brat came back to bring the match to Scott 6 and Pam 4), and overall we were pretty lethargic. Lunch was clam chowder and dinner was a repeat meal of ham, potatoes and corn. I think we have fallen into a complete automatic routine. There may need to be some serious re-emersion therapy starting with a big fat juicy cheeseburger. You can take the boy out of Mc Donald’s but you can’t take the Mc Donald’s out of the boy. (To the tune of ‘California here I Come”) – So open up those golden arches because Mc Donald’s here I come!!!
Throw me a life ring because I may finally be cracking up.
