Hi everyone,
At noon today we were at 07 47S 128 20W steering 250M, sailing under single-reefed main and full yankee at 6 knots. The wind was 15G19 from the E. Our noon to noon distances were 140nm by the log and 144nm over the ground. Overall we've logged 3281nm and 3605nm respectively. Our distance to go is 643nm - only a Sydney Hobart!

Yesterday afternoon and evening were uncomfortable but fast. 20G25 average with rain squalls of 25G30. And the sea state was nasty with multiple crossed swell wave trains summing to at least 4m. Yuk! But Zen Again trucked on through and we hung on. We were under double-reefed (trisail sized) main and storm staysail all night.

| Dawn today |
In the early hours of the morning the sky cleared and we had a spectacular 3/4 moon to watch the waves and the stars by. By dawn the winds had moderated and also the swell. Pretty nice sailing this morning under increased sail.
Below is the usual screenshot. Hard to tell how we're going against sv Onyx in red just aft of our port beam. Neck & neck. But it's not a race right?

Our Starlink has become unreliable over the last few days. Some of our pals are having minor issues of start-up time but our start-up time is getting into hours. And once online it drops out randomly. So if our daily blogs stop you know why. Our PredictWind tracking page is fed from our Zoleo Satellite Communicator so is unaffected.
Trust all's well where you are.
