You are making good progress. I was listening into 'Gulf Harbour Radio' last night around 5.30. Patricia called Harlequin but no response. I'll listen again tonight.

Weather: Light conditions

Problems with the Sat Phone. However, Harlequin will be communicating on the SSB with Gulf Harbour Radio daily at 5.15pm updating their position. The communications are live streamed by Gulf Harbour Radio https://www.ghradio.co.nz. (Note sometimes comms by SSB are problematic for boats that are close to NZ so it may be a day or so before they have good reception). All well on board
