received a call from Aurelia with request to check the weather. they are
currently in 40 knots with 5-6m breaking seas. Feeling pretty
uncomfortable in the conditions and Hamish wanting to know if going to get
worse of better.
checked forcast and suggested they head more W than S into lighter winds
away from the squash zone. conditions should ease for them over next 6
hrs. computer showing 560 miles to run to Bay of Islands.
will call them for an update in 12 hours.
