Hi all,

The last 24hrs has been really tricky sailing. We beat upwind all night in about 35 knots and passed Cape Howe, we then had the wind lighten on us this morning and a big sea state was left over which made it difficult to get the boat moving.

We are eagerly awaiting a Southerly wind which should give us a faster, more direct run. This coastline reminds me so much of the South African coast back home in its challenging sailing conditions.

Wish us a fast run for the last 180 nautical miles!

Cheers,

Dale
