The best day sailing of the trip. Perfect conditions after the swell dropped to 1m. Wish it was always like this and it will make up for the low that has formed on our destination and the trough we have to go through to get there. Likely Saturday but too late for CheckIn.

turbulent day due 4m sw swell. Not much sleep and not much work in the galley. outlook not good with a new low formed below us so S winds - not helpful! A pity we could not stop at Norfolk to let it pass.

A bit of everything the last 24hrs. Good winds last night took us south, first ENE, the NE then NW. Entered front at 7am this morning and have had SW since then up to 25 in squalls and then down to next to nothing. Seas getting up a bit now but were only 1m during the wind changes. Will miss Norfolk AGAIN as it will be dark and we will be to the east anyway. No rest until Opua. Good speed at the moment of 7.5kts but it has been up and down.
