29 47.05N 132 49.25E

Hello All, We ran the engine at low RPM's through the night and were making good speed with the ocean current helping us. The sea was flat calm and the stars were out over head. This morning we were getting a light breeze out of the south so we put the yankee up. Later in the morning the wind came up more so I looked at the weather again and the low was advancing faster than I thought so before it got to rough we took the yankee down and put up a double reefed main and a staysail. The wind is now at our side and we are moving alone nicely with gusts to 25 knots. We are 110 miles from the South Island but after we get there we still have another 50 miles to go to get to the harbor so now it's all about the timing and this wind is suppose to turn to the North west so I hope we can get in before that happens. All is well here, we are just getting rest and getting ready for a long night of cloudy sky's and wind. I will talk to you soon. PEACE
