We have been sailing along steadily getting a little closer to New Zealand since the last update. Tuesday night and Wednesday day we had some little squalls which made for variable winds and lots of adjustments of course and trimming/changing sails. That meant not much sleep for the captain! Wednesday night the winds and seas increased as I had been expecting so it was a fast and bumpy sail in up to 30 knots of SE breeze. It has now dropped off just a little and should continue to do so. We will probably be becalmed by the weekend!
