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.

Back at Ilot Maitre after a brilliant sail this morning, loads of fish action and feeding birds for entertainment.
Great windsurfing afternoon for Si, and lovely snorkel for me.
Of course this was the occasion I didn't take the camera and did see a very laid back Loggerhead turtle, who just stayed there on the bottom watching me as I watched him, we just hung out for 3-4 minutes. Could have taken wonderful photos . .

Had a lot of wind last night so progress south was good. No sleep though. Today has been a motor sail with wind less than 9kts and lots of blue sky.

lumpy hard on start with a miserable negative 2kt current which we lost at 5pm thank goodness. Heading for Lord Howe! I hear it is nice there. Wind should back tomorrow and at least we have sun.
