First Day at Sea

02 May 2012 | On Passage from New Zealand to Fiji
Rod
We cast off this morning, Wednesday at 10:30. It is now 12:00 midnight. It was amazingly rough to get out of the channel. The wind was directly in our face while the tide was ebbing. Makes for lots of big waves. Then outside the river channel and off shore near the coast, the swell and waves really grew bouncing us around and often we had lots of green water on deck as well as the boom in the water - twice!!

Jenny was with us, and her boom also got wet. It's just New Zealand. Once upon a time we would have been alarmed, but not now. Things settled down as the afternoon wore on, and eventually the wind dropped such that we were wanting more. We are steering with the wind vane, and are doing our routine of three hour watches. I just came on - Elisabeth will sleep until 03:00am.

Ok then, another post tomorrow. It feels good to be out, even if it is a bit rowdy.
