What we always try to avoid on passages, beating, happened yesterday. We
spent most of the day going into southerlies, to around 20 knots. That was
enough to get me (Rich) seasick, despite it being our fourth day on this
passage and even some help from Meclizine. Who knows, could have been bad
eggs, I guess. Today is much nicer, motoring in light wind and confused but
small seas. Should make Coffs tomorrow before noon, we hope. We gave up on
Newcastle. There are southerly gales expected there Saturday noon and we
wouldn't make it by then. No more beating!
