So, here we are, bobbing around in light and variable winds, and something that we saw in the most recent weather faxes and .grb files scared the poop out of us... a deep low is forecast to produce storm force winds 100NM off the coast of NZ right around the time we are predicted to be 100NM off the coast of NZ :^/
So, the SV Mostly Harmless has banged a hard right and is now traveling due west at around 26d 27' south to let the low (and it's 45 kt winds) pass in front of us...
That will add a day or two onto our passage and give us head winds for the last few hundred miles, but alas, this boat likes 15-20 kt headwinds waaaay more than it likes getting slapped on the beam with 5m seas and 45kt winds...
We are now predicting arrival in NZ around 16-17 Nov.
