Yesterday we had flat calm seas, cloudless skies and we mwt up with Myrdinn for a chat and photo session. Last night the wind got up to 20knots or so and a horrid lumpy sea, rain and cloud. We're now heading much more west than we planned to go over the top of a nasty Low that has formed and which should pass south of us. This will then leave us with a very long hard slog to windward to get down to NZ.
We're now in the Eastern hemisphere!
