All well. Peaceful day motor sailing 1500 rpm in 2 to 4 knots tail wind.

Been motoring directly into a South wind all night. Hoping for a change as forecast to SW today and we can sail again

via relay on a bad propagation day

230 miles from Bay of islands. Head winds and head current of 1.5 knots slowing us. Both well

thanks to Southern Cross and Astarte for relay

Easy sailing if not the optimum heading but things will change. remarkably warm for how far south we are

great progress. Will get the front at dinner time and winds overnight will go nw to SW. No more than 20 in the front and 15 after going light as they near their destination.

Had good night. Wind went SE so changed course to 150 M. Getting good speed, then around 5.45 the wind dropped out. Now motor sailing hoping for the wimd to return soon. Getting cooler. Jersy and jeans on watch, blanket in bed

Wind has dropped to 15 and the sea is a lot easier. Three sail up now. As the sun comes up it looks as there may be a few showers today. It is noticeably cooler
