Winds slowly built up during the day, still SE so not able to set a course directly for NZ, have been pushed slightly west but made good progress south. Just as well we started heading east on Saturday for 3 days during the southerly winds or we would be half way to Australia by now! Squally rain showers started at 3pm, with gusty conditions and steep choppy waves. Blue sky ahead of us so hope we are out of the rubbish soon. All well on board.
