[status] The sea state flattened out, and the wind eased and settled, and we managed to have full main and Genoa from the early hours and really got up and going. Mostly high 7s/8s knots. Then about lunch time wind backed to south too much, and then eased completely. Now motoring directly towards NZ in light rain. Just had some yummy yellowfin tuna for lunch. Hopefully the wind will fill in soon from the south west and we can sail again (we go faster sailing than motoring). It?s definitely getting colder. I (Ade here) left fiji in a bikini, then it was a t-shirt on top, then shorts at night, then a sweatshirt, and now socks and tracksuit pants as well. We?re only 2 days into our passage. At this rate we?ll run out of clothes to put on! Water temp has gone from 26 to 21. Bbbbbrrrrrrr. All well onboard.
