Other points of interest:
after being hove to we are pressing on north to be nearer the pass into Tongatapu and Nuka alofa when the wind moderates. Only have tiny storm jib up as no point getting there to soon or in darkness . When we go in depends totally on the wind which is forecast to moderate in the next 24 to 48 hours . Katipo riding the big beam seas well and sail seems well balanced, but are doing some hand steering at present
