Approached NZ with a lively sail. At night the wind dropped and we sailed gently along the coast to Marsden Cove and arrived at the Quarantine dock this morning at 7 am. We have now cleared in with customs and bio-security and are moored a few berths further to the customs dock at Marsden Cove Marina.

Glad the wind turned to SSW all day at 15 to 22 knots, which gives us a very close angle towards our destination, sailing at 51 to 60 degrees to the wind, Kahia is hopping through the waves like a rocking horse with the hydrovane as happy tail doing a superb job steering us. Sorry to hear our SSB transmission is bad, not the best time to check the terminals. We are grateful to Astarte for giving a brilliant relay.
