[status]Very slow progress. Wind finally dying around 4pm yesterday so we have had to resort to the 'Iron Sail'. The forecast 15NE has not kicked in, we are ever hopeful. Daybreak and sunrise over Taranaki this morning was spectacular, although too far offshore to get really good pics of the Mount Tarankai/Egmont. We hope to reach D'Urville Island before nightfall, for a good night's sleep before contemplating the weather and the push onto Wellington - so close!
