brief update

Coordinates: 33 12 S 173 04 E
Bearing:135 currently
Boat Speed:4.5
Wind Direction: SW fluctuates some
Wind Strength: 20 gusting 28
Sea state: confused

Crew health: fine
all is well , great run with the northerlies until 1.10 pm when suddenly changed to SW as forecast . Now less comfortable sailing as going to windward in a sea with cross swells and chop . However we are getting closer to North Cape of NZ
Few more sea birds about which is a cheering to see, especially as it is all no sun , grey clouds and intermittent rain as the front crosses us .
