Cloud 9's NZ cruise

Steve Horne circumnavigates New Zealand solo.

Anchored at Great Mercury Island

06 June 2016
At 2am Steve navigated his way in the dark through the small islands and rocks into Mercury Cove and set his anchor.
It's still blowing East at 25kts this morning and forecast to increase over the next two days.
He must have been exhausted so we'll let him have a wee rest and get him to up date the trip a little later.
