The second night at sea from the above to Mackay and our
position is 16:43s 163:44e
The seas have been very rough indeed with 5 to 6 meters of
waves and 35 knots of wind - the sails set have been 2 very little jibs the port
side on the pole and the starboard normally sheeted
- just now we put them both on poles and the wind had
backed and so we are now very much down wind and sailing at 6.8kts at present
course of 258t
We left Vanuatu the day before the earthquake and tsunami so
all is ok there were a couple of boats who had some damage in Port Villa and one
boat 23k from the epee centre felt the entire boat shake and thought the mast
was coming down = all was ok
Will keep you all informed over the next few days - eta
\MacKay middle of next week
