Drina, no position report overnight 5/11/2010...

Drina is not on the list of overnight reports for the 5/12/2010.  So I've estimated a DR position for yesterday  based on her last course and speed and a little extra for the new wind that was forecast for her area over the last 24hrs.
Her DR Position is 42° 28'S and 175° 23'W.  That puts her about 85 miles NE of Chatham Islands.
The weather in that location you can work out yourself from the local forecast I've included below.
Issued by MetService at: 12:57pm 6 December 2010
Valid to: 12:00am 8 December 2010
Forecast: 
Northwest 20 knots. Changing southwest 30 knots in the morning. Sea becoming rough. Southwest swell rising to 3 metres. Northwest swell 1 metre dying out.
Outlook: 
Outlook following 3 days: Rising Wednesday morning southwest 40 knots with very rough sea, easing late Wednesday 30 knots and Friday 20 knots. Southwest swell becoming heavy Wednesday, easing Friday.
New issues of this forecast are made available on this site at or before:
2:15am, 6:15am, 2:15pm, 6:15pm
Updates and amendments may be issued at any time.
Heres a link to another site that plots her position, though in this case only the last 2 weeks of plots.
