[status]We made it: Port Pegasus on Stewart Island!!! We had a really nice downwind passage (if you don?t count the brutal beat to get out of Otago Harbour and the two hours we spent beating the final 5 miles into Port Pegasus when the wind turned noserly!). At times the wind got to 33 knots, but with it behind us, it was still very pleasant.

I?ve heard from life-long cruisers that this is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I guess that?s not a first impression type thing. It?s pretty but so are so many other places we?ve been. We?ll see if this grows on us ? and give it every opportunity to do so.
[weather] Can?t comment on the weather as it seems to change every few minutes, with the one consistency so far being COLD.
