Decided to stay put after another review of the weather this morning. No sense pushing our luck trying to beat the trough to Minerva. Instead we'll enjoy the Bay of Islands a bit longer.
Departing Opua Thurs pm heading for Fiji via Minerva, will need to get a lot of easting initially.
Missed Mon departure due to watermaker issues. all good now so planning on Thurs departure heading to Minerva
No window yet, still waiting. Maybe Tuesday next week?
Still in Opua, looking at possible departure to Fiji on Thursday 26th May
In Opua, waiting on that elusive weather window
Crew on board, now in Bay of Islands awaiting weather window
Awaiting crew in Whangarei, heading to Opua Sat 14/05
