Sorry we are a bit late today. Fairly uncomfortable out here with 20-25kts, 3-5m swell on confused sea. Trying to cook seared blue tuna filets with veges is not easy, but tastes unbelievably good - melts in your mouth. It goes without saying we caught another blue fin this afternoon to go with the barracuda this morning. Half the barracuda became fish filet burgers for lunch.
Down to the 3rd reef in the main with or without headsail. We are a good 2kts slower, but it is much kinder on the yacht and the crew.
1126nm to Cairns. Probably there by next Tuesday or sooner
