Title: getting closer

[<< Prev Post] | [Next Post >>]

POSITION 30:51S 175:35E
I spoke to Hamish at 2200hrs tonight. He sounded relaxed and happy and
advised all was well on board.
Last night was calm and they motored for 18 hours in order to make
distance towards New Zealand.
As we spoke Aurelia was hard on the wind in W10 - 15, and they were 52NM
west of the Rhumbline in anticipation of the change to the SW due on
Sunday morning.
Miles to run to BOI = 265NM. ETA = Monday
