close but so far away

Hamish advises they have now sailed into the lee of North Cape and out of
the SW swells.
They had winds up to 30 knots when the front came through this morning
after some calm spells late yesterday. Current wind 10 -15 SW heading
just east of south at 165T. Have full main and genoa up and making 5.5 to
6 kts.
Still showing 145 miles to go, however they will have to sail over 200NM
to get there - making ETA more like early Tuesday morning.
Hamish intends to head a little further south before making a tack inshore
to pick up a slight shift to the west early tomorrow.
All well and happy on board.
