We had a pretty good night with a few squalls, but daybreak brought gray skies and squall line after squall line. The winds weren't too bad; mostly low 20's in the gusts. I've shortened sail to the second reef in the main sail as Max has an easier time of it in the short, choppy seas we've got, and we furl in or let out the 105% Yankee jib (on a Profurl unit) depending on the wind strength. About 775 nm to Tairapa Pass into Manihi.
