We sailed all night apart from a couple of hours where we motored because the wind had died and it was coming from behind. Fortunately the wind moved around to the east and now we are sailing nicely

Another day of leisurely sailing with SSE winds 20-30 knots. We have only the main sail up as we will not get to Minerva Reef by sunset tomorrow. We thought about going straight to Savusavu, but

We motored for a couple of hours allowing us to charge up and make some water before the wind came back up and we have been sailing ever since. Not quite as quick as before, but a bit more

The wind seems to be dying. We have been sailing all night, but half an hour ago, we started motoring as the wind is nearly directly behind us. Sleeping is getting easier as we get used to the

A great night sailing travelling between 6-13knots with winds between 20-34kn SW winds. Not great sleep with the boat rolling around, but making good ground tho and it?s always a relief to get the

Just leaving Marsden Cove Marina heading for Minerva reef. A rough ride out of Whangarei, but a nice southerly breeze to start our voyage on. We will not miss the cold, but we will miss our friends

We are back in NZ cruising down the coast towards Opua to check-in. It was a good night sailing until just after midnight when we turned on the motor and motor sailed into NZ. It's great to be

Another night of pounding and very little sleep, but the finish line is only a day and night away. So we have made good ground and that's the main thing. Most of the night was 17-20kn easterlies on

Another long day of crash and bash, but making headway. We have about 289 miles in a straight line to go until we get to the Bay of Islands. 16-20kn ESE (on he nose) with a sloppy sea (just

It's been a hard night of on the nose sailing, lots of banging and not the best sleep. Oh well, we are predicting just over a couple of days to go. We have had 19kn easterlies with 1m E swell

A day of mainly sailing, a little bit of motor sailing. The highlight was Wok pulling in a Mahimahi, which we will have for dinner. 11kn SE and 1m SE swell. We are ticking along ok. The wind is

The easterly winds finally kicked in, so we tacked and are heading slightly more south. Not the best of nights sleep, as the wind is stronger 13.5kn SE and on the nose, but it's nice to be making

Another beautiful day going not very far. A bit frustrating with the lack of wind, but hoping that the easterlies kick in very shortly. We have 6kn SW winds with 1m SE swell. We have had the motor
