[status]Winds SS 10-15 knots, boat speed 5.3 knots, heading 190T, 1 meter seas SSW, 30% cloud coverage. We have finally got into the high and are now feeling some relief..it has been an extremely rough 2 days, yet I think we are in the clear now to finish our crossing to Opua. We have 150 miles to go and should be in port by friday afternoon. We will be getting some northerly winds that will pick our speed up and have a fabulous finish to a mixed bag crossing. Life is good and The Pair of Grins have their Grins back:):)

[s]A good start to the night of gentle sailing with between 10-18 ESE winds, then the wind died and turned NE about 2.00am and the motor went on and is still on. A couple of cargo ships passed us and the odd yacht we passed, just to keep us on our toes, but other than that a quiet night. By the way - the Mahimahi was delicious!
