24hrs covered 192nms, at 1200NZT we’re 470.3 nms to Cape Moreton
 
The day started well and is still going apart from a little light shower now its been quite good, we out a fishing line out earlier and within 35 mins a large fish caught hold of our line and took all the gear off the line!! we now have a hand line out but no luck as yet. We have had our problems with a bit of seasickness on board during the trip so far but everyone has pitched in to cover where able. I managed to get the job of cook which can be rather testing when the sea way is knocking Windana all over the place. The guys have been  very complimentary about my daily meals, I’m guessing that's down to the fact that they are just happy that they don't have to cook! fair enough to! However everyone seems to be firing on all 4 cylinder's....hmm I guess 8 cylinders if your an A
ussie lol!
 
Any how we are heading up to Brisbane now and should be there in a couple of days, I'm looking forward to getting three, as the weather in
NZ has been wet and cold recently. I'm also looking forward to sitting down to a nice meal that someone else is cooking!
