[status]The wind stayed above 30kn gusting 45kn until 0400 this morning. The fun of surfing at 12-14kn had definitely paled by then. The wind then stayed WSW but slowly decreased to the very pleasant conditions we have now. We came through the gale with only minor problems, all fixed now. At 1000 this morning we were 300nm from Auckland, 120nm in the first 24hrs and 180nm in the second 24hrs. So we're all good out here and catching up on sleep!
