On way to Nelson, passage day 2
01 November 2015
Monday 2nd November - Had a good evening/night as a light wind and fair tides helped to whoosh us around the top of the North Island. Things are a bit slower this morning as we motor into a light breeze and a 1m swell. NW breeze due to pick up by this evening and we should make Port Taranaki tomorrow evening, hopefully before dark.
Our position as at 1200

206 miles to go to New Plymouth where we plan to stop and grab a mooring until the nasty southerly blows through.
