Cold night. Expect to be in Opua this afternoon.

Good sail through night, wind picked up round 1.30am still form N. Squally conditions this morning with poor visibility and rain.

Another great day sailing with wind and seas from behind. All is well on board.

A great night sailing relatively smooth seas and starry sky. All well on board.

Making good progress now - only 255nm to the Bay of Islands. All is well.

at last we pointing towards NZ. Bouncy night as seas very confused. All is well.

Very sporty sail today - at least we heading south now. Waiting for the northerly tonight so we can point to Opua. All well on board.

Hove too late last night - much more comfortable. Will set sail again this morning. All well on board.

Just reefed right down for the night. Looks like a front approaching from S hoping it bringing those Northerly winds. All is well on board.

rough night, not able to make any south in current conditions. All is well on board.

Bouncy day with confused seas, just reefing right down for the night. All well on board.

<p>A report via radio an nour 15 later had SW20 g 25 and squally</p>

slow day sailing today. Blue skies and sunshine most of day but now thick high cloud ahead.

no stars seen in the night - very high cloud cover but no rain. All is well.

ghosting along in very light winds; gear box issues so no more motoring (it's knackered!!). It will be a long passage in these light winds. Apart from that all well on board!

all well on board
