Started the day up the mast... literally! Figured out how to work the 'Topclimber' and climbed up to clean the spreaders and fix the light. Worked really well and not too difficult to climb.Headed off late morning to sail back to Opua into a building SE breeze that eventually reached 15-18kts.
Unfortunately it was from exactly the direction we wanted to head, so hence the number of tacks in the log today.As you can see by the inclinometer at 30 deg, we had the old girl working today. She behaved impeccably!
All in all we sailed for 86 kms in just over 9 hours...
Saw some awesome sights along the way, and were welcomed home by a typical BoI sunset.

Tired but happy and bellies filled tonight with a nice Green Chicken Curry prepared while motoring quietly up the estuary as darkness fell
