[status]Reaching overnight on a NW 20-25kn until 1000 this morning when wind backed to west and increased to 35-45kn. Sailing with polled-out jib boat speed 8-11kn, max 14.5kn. Wind backed to WSW at around 1200 and decreased to 25-30kn. We're heading for a point at 35S 160w following a great circle route. So good speed, good course and happy crew! Lets hope it lasts.
