[status] Correction, previous position not updated.
A comfortable night, we both got some good sleep, especially Lyn who?s really good at sleeping soundly at sea.
The wind did drop slightly and move a touch more to the east, but not as much as forecast which is great for our speed this morning. The seas have been calming all night and this morning we are roaring along on a broad reach with full working sails.
Trying to position ourselves well for current, using the BOM forecast images I screen captured before we left and hopefully we are currently getting favorable current around the bottom of a clockwise eddy. Hard to tell for sure because the log impeller is a bit dirty and can?t trust the speed from it.
[speed] 8.3 knots
[heading] 240T
[weather] 17 knots ESE, 20% cloud cover, 1m waves from the SE
