Good long day of sailing starting with a spinnaker run averaging around 6kts. Outside the Poor Knights we caught up on 3 skip jacks and a yellow fin tuna, a first for me, so lunch was sashimi of course. The wind then switched forcing us into a beam reach toward Cape Brett. The wind completely died for about 2hrs so engine was was initiated, but getting close to the Bay of Islands the wind picked up again. We shot the gap between the hole in the wall and Cape Brett then had a final little spinnaker run into the bay. Beautiful anchorage in Paradise Bay tonight with many boats for company. Yellow fin and veggies for dinner.
