Well the wind wasn’t as forecast last night and we still manages to cover 170 nms in the hrs period.
We will be at North Cape around 1830 this evening and its off into the Tasman sea for the next 8 days. The weather forecast are changing daily and it looks better than the 1st one I looked at, at least the latest one has a get of jail option, but that out of date already so who knows,
 
Our game plan is (actually its my game plan but don’t tell the Boys!!) is to head out for Lord Howe Island in cast we need somewhere to hide for a couple of days ands then carry on.
 
I’m hoping that this large high pressure will kill any nasty stuff and let us sail none stop through to Sydney,
 
Only time will tell, anyhow going to sign off now and have a brew of tea and try to relax for the first time for weeks.
 
 
Cheers
