Melbourne to Osaka Double Handed Race 30.4.13 0600hrs

Funnelweb arrived at Hokko Yacht Harbour at 0400 AEST

Turbulence had 155nm to go at 0600 this morning and Paul sent us this latest report.

Gday All, a little update just too let you all know that we were averaging 9-10knots boatspeed all of last night but couldnt get over 5 knots SOG it is currently 6 knots of current against us at times but minimal of 5 knots to say it's depressing is again an understatement I went and changed headsail from 2 -3 last night and thought I would let Eric rest down below 20 mins later I was as soaked as could be and even grumpier then any could imagine! We have about 160 miles to finish and judging by last night they not going to be easy! Hope Thursday we arrive! Cheers Paul
