One or two still feeling 'woozy' and a little tired but all getting into routines.
Highlight of the Day
Girls doing 'make overs' on crew members faces. The male crew members however declined (or should that be refused?) to take part in this.
"The big swells are AWESOME" quote Maria.

Conditions on board the boat are great.
Dropped the main sail due to strong winds, currently underway with storm jib up.
Covering approximately 155 nautical miles per day.
230 nautical miles to Norfolk Island, hope to be there Tuesday morning.
Enjoying the delicious food on board.
Milo conveyed special thanks to Zoe and Ben for establishing and updating the Sail Blog, EJ and James for their commitment. Milo says its great to get messages to and from the boat and once again thanked the Nelson Amateur Radio Club for their continued support.
