All fine onboard. 2 large swell trains making for a swooping, lively ride. The current is a great help. Expecting wind to come from the S-SE later this evening but not so strong as to interfere with landfall tomorrow evening.

Looking at forecast and Windty, you probably have already experienced a wind shift with the passing of a front. Beyond that it looks benign but on the nose all the way to the cape. Save some diesel for the last stretch along the coast. Stay safe.

1800h UTC: Easier sailing with less confused seas and the backing wind allows a rhumb line course to be sailed. A big flying fish on deck this morning. No other vessels in sight or on AIS at present. Air and sea temps decidedly cooler than Fiji!

Finally you're heading South for NZ. All alone with only the sea, sky, flying fish, tranquility and your thoughts....what are you zinking!

When you are gatvol of life at 30degrees, think of me at work and in traffic at 15km per hr! If the pot does not stay on the stove however... See you soon!...hang in there bro!

At least on port tack you will be enjoying your starboard pilot berth. Down here we are dealing with the ebb and flow of the working week and looking forward to your landfall in NZ. Happy days! Ricardo

All well on board. Life at 30 degrees of heel is a bit much. Can't wait for the wind to back. No crew to mutiny.
