Ngahue IV - Friday lullaby

Rock-a-by Ngahue, on the wave top,
When the wind blows, your waves will rock,
Etc. to be filled in by the reader who is probably less thrown around than we at the moment. A bit of bad weather has caught up with us, so for today, Friday, it's wind and swell on our programme. The up-side of this is that we are heading towards Horta at a, for us, unheard of rate of knots. A bit more sun would be nice, as our solar panels are generating less than half of what they normally produce. And because we are on a starboard tack, our Watt & Sea is a lot out of the water and producing a fraction of its rated 600 watt output.
Although the sea is filled with waves, it certainly is not filled with other shipping. We are again all alone within the 20-50 mile range with which we can track other (AIS-fitted) boats.
