Back to reality

Saturday morning  31 17 S  175 33 E
 
Well, we had 36 hrs of smooth ocean bliss and time to wax philosophical.   Seems like King Neptune once again seduced us into thinking it was going to be easy.
 
A few hours ago we had a 180* wind shift with building seas and rain.  Nothing like a front to bring us back to reality.   Forecast is for 20-25kt on the nose with lumpy seas all the way into the barn.   Saddle up and hang on, cowboy.  330 nm and 36 hrs of fun.   Yeeeeeha!
 
Looks like we are back to ramin noodles and cookies.
