Half way

Wind was 50 to 60 knots all night. We are OK, and it has eased now to 40 knots. We're about half way to Australia (from New Caledonia). We're hanging on tight. Will send position later in the day.

UPDATE:
Position: 23.42 S, 158.88 E

The boom is hitting the water only occasionally now. Lots of big green waves over the boat. We have a new top speed of 23.7kts!

Dear Peter & Geoff

Happy easter ! Is there any rabbits swimming in the ocean?
If not don't worry I've got lots of chocolate so you can share with mine :)

Have a great day!
Lots of love xxxxxx

If you didn't get this wind you wouldn't be able to justify recognition for your sailing skills. It proves(or improves) the yacht too!
Have fun arriving back in Oz. It's been great watching your progress experienced through the internet and google maps.
Get home safe!
