[weather] wind has eased back to about 7 to 20 kts. Mainly from SE but variable. Wrong direction.
[status] Time, midday Sunday. I spoke too soon yesterday about the wind from a favorable direction. It did not last!
Of course the wind swang back to the SE, so we continue to tack towards home. Very slow progress and frustrating for us. Wondering when we will ever get home. However, we must be getting closer to NZ, we have rain. A wind change tonight or tomorrow? We will keep you posted.

John, Frances and Robert
