[status] A beautiful day of sailing to complete probably our most pleasant passage ever. We have had about a 2 knot push of current all day and, just for a change we took the pole down and have used our westing to give us a nice broad reaching angle. Saw our first ships in the Australian shipping channel this afternoon.
Just 45 miles to go now. We will probably arrive early hours of Friday morning and take on the Seaway entrance in the dark, hopefully with some moon assistance (swell is not too big).
Last meal tonight will be fillet steak with cake for dessert, yum!
