We have 26 knots of Wind from the N and are reefed down, doing 7 to 7.5 knots. Lord Howe Island is 100 miles to the SE. Should have this wind through the day and it will ease a little tonight. Heading for a High Pressure Area so will get some rain and head winds over the weekend. Take an occasional big wave over the side of the boat, have 2 to 3 meter swell and 2 to 3 meter wind waves from different directions. The Auto Pilot has it's work cut out for today. Kind of a bouncy ride today.

Had a bird land on the solar panel last night at around 2000 and left at first light. He also had a rough ride trying to stay on the smooth solar panel. Today we have grandma's cookies and stuguron on the menu. Irv
