[position] 27 13.560S 168 53.800E
[status] After passage of the front last night, wind filled in from the SE so we were able to tack back toward SW (were sailing E); now it looks like we we are en route to Norfolk Island (but wait, I thought we were going to New Zealand!?). Seas were very lumpy and uncomfortable last night, but have settled down some today; still hard to keep boat speed up with the chop! Looking forward to being able to actually point the boat in the general direction of New Zealand - maybe when the High moves in over the next day or so. All is pretty well on board.
[speed] 5.5 kts
[heading] 225T
[weather] Winds SE 12-15; seas 2m SE; 45% cloud cover; bar 1014.94, steady.
[END]
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
