[status] On passage from the Falklands to Rio de Janeiro

Close hauled on starboard tack with 22knots true wind from NE and 2 metre waves to crash into, fall off and generally get stopped by. No relief from this unfortunately for the next couple of days by which time we should be close to the Brazilian coast but maybe not close to Rio as we are being pushed east by the wind. Boat standing up to it all very well as are the crew.

[speed] 6.0 knots
[heading] 342 degrees true
[weather] Wind NE 22 knots. 2.0m waves. Sky 50% cloud. Baro 1007
