A report from the cockpit of Haphazard:
-Experiencing 8 to 10 knots from the south
-On port tack headed toward Wineglass Bay
-24nm from Schouten Passage
-Making six knots
-If wind holds in, should make Coles Bay in six to seven hours
-Went further to sea than most of the fleet and can see two boats to its west, most likely Sullivans Cove Whisky and Pisces
-Was passed by Tas Marine Construction during the night (their tracker showing them abeam of Coles Bay)
-Struggled in a light north-easterly during the night, had to shy reach toward New Zealand to get any boat speed!
-Cold


A report from Raoul at Cape Tourville (near Coles Bay)
-Leading boats about 7 miles ahead of the fleet
-Probably within five miles of Schouten
-No wind in the Bay
-Can see one boat, possibly Haphazard
