18th May, 2011

At 0600H May 18, local time we are at 23 25S, 177 47E
pushing north to Fiji. We have had some breezy
condition due to a low pressure trough and have had
to slow down to to avoid some head winds but we are
now moving along again. Current conditions are gray
skies with occasional rain with wind to 20 kts with
gusts to 25. We are making 7.5 kts on a course of
350 M under reefed genoa and mizzen.We have a mere
317 miles to go and conditions should be much more
settled in 12 hours or so. Should be in Fiji by Friday.
