[status] A slower night of lighter winds and contrary current which is not really a problem as we are resigned to Friday morning arrival anyway.
This morning we are finally starting to find the favorable SW setting branch of the Australian east coast current that we have been seeking. One wonders if the distance lost to get here was worth it, especially as we will probably end up slowing down to arrive in morning daylight hours.
