New Zealand to Fiji - Tuesday Morning Report

0630 Tuesday, 14 May 2013 NZST/1830 UTC
South Pacific Ocean 32 52 S/ 174.21 E
WInd E-ESE 23 knots/SOG 7.5 kn/COG 347 mag/Sea state not observed
Distance sailed = 114 nm over past 14 hours/174 nm to 30 S waypoint

We continue with double reef mainsail and staysail anticipating that wind and seas should ease within 12 and 24 hours respectively. Great dinner of chicken parmesean and green salad last night. Crew is taking all in stride and everyone is standing their watch. Dani is still finding sea legs but refuses to complain.  At this hour it remains dark with the earliest rays of dawn. I cannot yet view the seas nor can I give my morning flying fish report. We are fine and I am looking forward to some tropical warmth.
