At 7a.m. Sydney time, 9a.m. NZ, Just over 40 miles from north rounding point.  Been bashing into 8-12 foot waves for last 3 days so we are all looking forward to rounding sound in about 8-10 hours towards Opua and for first time not be heading directly into wind.

Will update again, hopefully when get around the point heading south on east end of island.
