[status] At about midday the westerly wind kicked in about 7-12knots and we started with Main, Gennoa and stay sail, then saw a boat in the distance, so put up the Gennaker and really covered some ground going 5 - 8 knots. We caught up to Warratah Lass and had a chat. We both took photos of each others boats. We will catch up in Minerva. It is nice not to be motoring for a change. We are both well, enjoying the sailing.

After motoring for 27 hours we're sailing fast over easy seas. It's getting warmer - light clothes on night watch. Almost half way to Minerva. Great passage. Thai chicken curry for lunch today, our main meal.
