[status] Good morning. Wind has eased over the last 6hrs down to 15 -20kn, and along with that the sea state has eased a bit too.

Still running with double reefed mainsail, and well reefed headsail, but might get a bit more sail out shortly.

Think we all got a bit of sleep, even though quite bumpy through the night.

Kirstine got to see the moon set and the sun rise during her watch. Wasn't too cold on watch - boots, shorts and few layers did the job.

278nm to Norfolk Island waypoint before changing course for Opua. Water is 23.6C

Forcast shows wind easing thru the day and sitting around 12kn E to ESE for a couple of days, then shifting more northerly around Friday.. it always seems that we get a bit more wind than forcast.

All well on board.
[speed] 5.5kn
