Light winds dominated much of yesterday and failed us completely overnight such that we drifted with sails down from 9 pm to 4 am. Now we have some wind again, from a favourable angle even, so we are able to make good the course required for Coffs Harbour - 425 miles to go.

A cold front will be with us sometime tomorrow, more headwinds ahead.

Time to shorten sail.

All is well.
