Going well but progress a little slowed down (deliberately!) this am, as the overnight wind was a lot stronger (30kn) than forecast and overnight the beam seas (90deg to our heading, Grrrr!) rose to over 3m and started breaking... it was like a washing machine aboard!.... so reduced sail and are now running off slowly at an angle to N at mo and are very comfortable . Only 36hrs or so to wait improvement, we may even turn and heave to tonight, as don't want to arrive b4 Monday.
