[status]Just punched through that b*gg*r of a front and now in the SW breeze which is still gusting over 30knts T, what a relief to be running with it rather than knocking our heads against the wall.
Thanks Mike for all your help and we will try to continue updating as we go.

[position]29 13S 174 19S

[heading]000
[weather] 26kts WNW,1016 Baro, Strong flat cloud base with oblong blue patches that descend on us in rows like continental soldiers.
[status] Switched to 4x4 mode and low range. All is fine on board Impi. The sea is full of potholes and gusts 30 knots here and there. We are sailing close to the wind so very bumpy (slamming).
We are double reefed on the main and third reef in the genoa - SLOW is what we want right now to be comfortable.
