28 58 S, 153 40 E, South of Balina now, wind started to go east off Byron Bay a few hours ago so now under sail and the seas are starting to Calm a bit. I’m not sure if the sea state can affect your colour vision because the crew were starting to look a bit green! On the mend now but I think I will be dining on my own tonight. (Certainly won’t be as good as the Peking Duck the other night thanks to Gang and his wife)
