[status]After listening to various SSB net schedules yesterday and this morning, what I am picturing right now is not quite the ITCZ, but the NMCZ - the North Minerva Convergence Zone. Yip, it sounds like the proverbial 'ants to the honey pot' as those of us who left NZ last weekend get closer and closer to what, I think, is going to be rather a festive anchorage. Those poor crayfish, they must be crawling further back in their holes.....
