Heading for Nelson, Passage Day 1!
31 October 2015
After watching the ALl Blacks win the rugby World Cup at the Opua Yacht Club at 5am this morning we made a hasty exit from the marina and headed north (we have to round North Cape and Cape Reinga before heading back south along the West Coast of the North Island). Our plan is to get to Port Taranaki by late Tues/early Wed and stop there to wait out the expected strong Southerlies. Port Taranaki is only approx 24 hrs sailing to Nelson, so hopefully we'll get a good weather window to complete our journey back to Nelson in the near future!
