[status] We flew the gennaker for most of daylight hours yesterday, but as the wind built we changed to normal full sail set up, trundling along at a fairly steady 7-8kts since 5pm yesterday on a good southerly breeze of 12-15kts. The current wind predictions indicate that this wind will be with us for the next 5days or so, which will help considerably on our journey.
A spot of fishing yesterday resulted in "the one that got away", a nice sized mahemahe that evaded the gaff and jumped off the lure as we pulled it alongside. All is well on the high seas! Position 13.00 nzst, 178nm run in last 24hrs.
[speed] 8.6kts
