New Cal to Australia Day 4

Finally - some sailing! The wind started off a nice 10 - 15 knots from the N and gradually increased during the day. By the evening we had a reefed genoa and reefed main and making 7.5 knots on average! It lasted until around 2am when a dark cloud appeared which took the wind, swung it SW (on the nose!) blasted strong winds, thunder, lightening and rain, and then disappeared leaving no wind! We motored until first light when the wind tracked around to the South and filled in between 15 and 20 knots!
24 Hour Run: 149 n/m
Total Distance Run: 568 n/m
Distance to Run: 292 n/m
