Day 6 Tasman Sea

15 March 2015
Barbara & Simon
Yikes! We've been squeezed! We are currently in a squeeze zone as the high pressure system squashes, meaning strong winds and large, lumpy seas. However, Tuarangi is, as ever, carrying us safely through and we haven't had to touch the wind steering or sheets in 24hrs. Making steady progress, with forecast showing an improvement in the weather.There's always a chance that some of the damp patches appearing down below could cause a problem with the satellite, so don't worry if you don't here from us for a day or two. All is well :-) Should be in Nelson in about 4 days time.
