[s] well the front arrived in the early hours of the morning - 38kts with torrential rain for about an hour. Made for some excitement with the dog watch. Morning came and we have 30kts on the beam with building seas- pretty boisterous but we are making good progress now in bright sunshine. Forecast is to ease somewhat overnight so we cant complain about that.
Norfolk Island due south of us - but our course is SE from here for a few days - so wont be stopping there!
All well on board
