[status] another fairly bumpy night with a confused and variable swell in the sea, we put a reef in late afternoon when the wind was in the high 20s, which has helped. Speed consistently in 7.5-9kts range, crew now getting over some motion sickness! Having adjusted our final waypoint from Raiatia to Raivavae our distance to go is now less than 1800Nms. Position as at 09.00 NZST.
