We are leaving Marsden Cove Marina and heading for Fiji. The weather looks good with 18kn southerly winds. Hopefully not too much swell. We will be travelling with SV Rhum Cocoa. Relieved that

We can see land and expect to be tied up outside the quarantine wharf at Opua about 2300hrs. It?s been a lot of motoring in the last 3 days, but it?s been easy and even coming into NZ the sun is

Another night of motoring. The wind has turned SE, but only about 11kn. So we are sailing into the wind, but it?s not too uncomfortable. We should be at Opua late today all going well. It?s been

A full day of motoring, initially - very sloppy seas with a 2 m swell coming from lots of directions. The sea has calmed down now with just a 1m S swell and 3 kn of wind, so quite glassy. Still

Another night of next to no wind and motoring compiled with a 2m messy swell, makes for a bit of a washing machine effect. We have a very good side berth that allows us to get a bit of sleep, so not

we have been motoring all day due to lack of wind and a 2 meter swell is making it quite rocky. We have beautiful hot weather and still showering outside. Unfortunately still not a fish in sight

The wind has finally disappeared and we are motoring with about 7kn of N wind. Sails are all down as they tend to bang around when there?s a bit of slop and no wind. Anyway can?t complain, we have

Another great day of sailing averaging between 6 - 8 kn in approx 11 kn of NE winds, aided with an ocean current from behind us. We turned on the motor for an hour, mainly to make water, but are

A great nights sail with 13kn E winds. We are heading east in anticipation of the E / SE winds that are predicted on our arrival into NZ. It?s been easy sleeping so far at night, so may it continue.

A good day of sailing but light winds of between 8-14kn E. We did put up the gennaker for about an hour, but the wind came around too much on the nose, so had to bring it down. Still no fish

A good nights gentle sail with 10-14kn E winds. We did the odd bit of motoring during the night. The wind is slowly dying, but hoping for another day before we need to start the motor for a high in

A fabulous first day with blue skies and 10-15kn E for nice comfortable sailing. Fairly calm seas, but haven?t caught any fish yet. We can still shower outside, but I?m sure that may change in the

We checked out of Noumea yesterday morning and had a fabulous kite at Maître Island in the avo when we should have been getting ready to go, but we are on the road now and we are sailing in a lovely

It is 0500hrs NZ time, but 0400 hrs in New Caledonia. We have arrived safe and sound, sailing all the way mainly just with the main up. The rain has arrived to wash our boat down. We are looking

We have slowed down so that we can go through the Havannah Pass with an incoming tide in the early hours of the morning. The sea state has been messy today and we are sailing only with a main sail

We sailed all night but with the wind slightly more easterly (from behind) sloppy seas and up and down winds, we decided to pull in the Genoa as it was flapping a bit. Not good when you are trying

After motoring half the night, the wind came up enough 12kn SE in the morning to gently sail again and have been sailing ever since. The forecast says wind for tonight, about 17kn SE, so looking

We sailed under a full moon until just after 0100hrs when the wind died to about 11kn. Because it was slightly behind us made the conditions very sloppy, so we pulled down sails and put on the motor

Posted: Sat, 25 Aug 2018 - 15:57

Making good ground with continuing winds of SE 19-21kn. A couple of leaks to sort out, but otherwise a great days sailing. We are both a bit tired, but the first day is always the worst. Looking

Posted: Sat, 25 Aug 2018 - 06:30

Great night of sailing with SE winds just aft of beam, with full mainsail and stay sail a nice combination. A full moon made it easy to see, and we both managed a little bit of sleep, so all in all
