good passage so far, lots of motorsailing. However we had a bit of a sudden blow last night at 19:00. The wind suddenly went well over 30 kts with big sea and torrential rain for about 2 hrs. The rain then stopped but wind and sea remain. We have 3 reefs in the main and the staysail is out. She sails quite comfortably although we take big rolls from time to time, at 7 kts. We stayed up all night to monitor the situation.  ETA to Whangarei tomorrow Sunday 10AM.
 
All good onboard.
