We left Opua at 1200 yesterday and motored to the Ninepin before the breeze came.
Fickle SE10-20 knots but mostly 10, stayed that way up until 12 today when it settled down abit. Funny sea, mainly SE swell but with an E across it, made for a rather uncomfortable night.
the noon posn today was 33.04S, 174.49E, distance run 141 nm, course approx 015T, and we are now sailing quite steadily at 6.5 knots 9in a flatter sea with 16 knots T from SE.
Cheers
Alan and Gunilla
