At long last, a bit of a respite. Thank you David for warning us of the Cyclonic winds we indeed did encounter over the last few days. We were prepared because of his very astute warning. Cheers

Was a boisterous night 30kts SE gusting well over 35kts. Are we still in the cyclonic flow? All Well

Alls well. Wondering when the SE wind might arrive at out location at which time we will head for Whangeri which is our new destination as well as the reason for so much Easting.

Understand there is a trough below us. Can you tell us how much wind and what direction there is in it. Cannot see it on Predict wind. Best to you

Alls Well .

. Figure to Head East when the wind comes to SW which seems like soon. Very nice to be out of the woods. Will be very nice to be back in NZ.

course is correct as I asked again. Going north to come around the back side of the Low to get more Easting in. Hmm

Posted: Wed, 15 Nov 2017 - 16:10

We tried motorsailing to make some easting. Unable to make any better than 160T @ 4.5 kts so we are now again hove to.
