Day 8 Tasman Sea
17 March 2015
Barbara & Simon
Finally, the weather seems to be improving, and we are back on a direct course for Stephens and then Tasman Bay and Nelson. Hope to be there late Friday or Saturday. We have crossed the line into the New Zealand EEZ and have changed our watches to NZ time (UTC +12). The sun is shining, the wind is down to 20 knots, but we are sailing across the still very large seas, so it all remains a bit bumpy and damp. All well on board. Thanks for all newsy emails. Will reply when we have more spare electricity!
