22 - 30 knots, some fast surfing when the breeze is up. The western end of the Australian part of the ice limit is now only 166 miles away. Australia is less than a thousand miles from here.
On to more important matters: i have located my freeze-dried Christmas dinner which I will share with Sam tomorrow at 1200. She has the same dinner. I have also found my mother's delicious Christmas cake. I'm going to kick off Decemberr 25th at 1300 today, which will be midnight in Melbourne, as agrred with my friend Angela who lives ther. I don't know what time it is in Perth anyway.
I am clean and in clean clothes more suited to the cold, especially at night - Damartsport thermals and Ursuit Fourth Element on top. It feels fantastic. Untangling the bird's nest that is my hair is next on the job list unless a technical issue gets in the way.
Merry Christmas to you all!
