[status] An annoying night as the forecast SE change happened at 5 am not before midnight as expected. Had 15-20 SSW(straight out of Opua) till then. Away again now and it is the first time on the whole trip we have not been close hauled!! Feels good despite the lumpy seas. 80 miles to go, should be arriving Opua early hours tomorrow morning. All well on board.

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.
