[status]Past 24 hours very light as wind backs to S. Uncomfortable yesterday rolling around in sloppy seas and light wind. Seas have now diminished and life is easy aboard. Sailing slowly NE while waiting for wind to fill in. Good breakfast in the forecast.

Rumor has it that some of our positions this passage are showing in the northern hemisphere. Please disregard Rand's fat-fingered data entries. Be assured, we are about half-way between NZ and N Minerva Reef, in the southern hemisphere.

All is well aboard.
