[status] With wind moaning in the rigging, dawn breaks in the anti-cyclonic gloom of damp, dreary overcast after another night of thrashing in force 7 winds and lumpy, bumpy seas. Sort of brings to mind the old expression: "Floggings will continue until morale improves." For us that will come in about 24 hours time, when we make landfall and negotiate Navula Pass to the inside of the reef. We have slowed down now, with reduced winds and reduced sails, to ensure we arrive in daylight. For now, all is well on board.
