[status] The calm has gone, replaced by 20k SSE and 2.5m swell, and rain and no sun.
But I guess you have to get the bad now and then to appreciate the good.
All well on board.

[status] heading 006T, at 5 knots. Starting to get used to the squalls over the last 36hrs. They appear to form around the 175th longitude then head west. Problem is that there are so many, about one every 2-3minutes minute of latitude. At times you can dodge them but others it is not possible as they are too big so you just need to plough straight through them. At the time of writing this though we appear to be finally getting some relief from them with squall free skies so far.

Last night's increasing wind and seas saw Maunie well reefed down, allowing her to take the rain squalls with gusts of 40+ knot winds in her stride. Conditions have eased this morning so hoping for a steadier 180 nm approach to Bundaberg (ETA Monday morning). All well on board.[END]
