Couple of messages from Iris below. Up to 07:00 HK time, 120 NM in 19 hours @ average 6.3 knots (up from 5.8 yesterday). 240 NM to go, gives 38 hours, so ETA Saturday night. They still have some problems with contaminated fuel, but currently sailing in 18knts breeze. Which looks to veer more East, so should have reach/run to finish, cross fingers... See wind charts below and/or Passage Weather. (Click on "Read more")

"Xena" and Crew enjoyed Full Moon last night.
