Day 4
03 November 2010 | Passage to New Zealand
Don
Motor sailing through the night as winds have dropped off. Hole in the exhaust muffler must still be small as we are getting the same rate of blige pumping, thank goodness! Still running on GPS and doing OK. Not as much information to use re currents etc, however we are managing to do well. Fortunately we have several other boats in the vicinity and just keep them in sight, altering course as needed. Our weather guru has had us take a more westerly direction to position us better to turn south when a weather front passes us on Friday. Since we share this info with all the boats, they go where we go. We have the waypoint info for Opua, so no need to send it anymore. A boat Shining Lady on our net sent it right away. Everyone is so supportive.
