 09/02/2009  Plain Sailing! None of us when we left Auckland would have dreamt in their wildest/nicest dreams that we would be experiencing such magnificent weather.
08/02/2009 Bombs Away! Over the past weeks we have faced some rather serious challenges. Hardly life threatening but never the less intrusions and barriers that few modern day men can face and most importantly overcome.
07/02/2009 Forecast from Lee BruceOver the coming week, a strong low is forecast to wander eastward between 58S-62S.
This will create a band of sustained 40+kt wind. For example, by 09/00Z, the 40+kt wind field should stretch from 53S to 60S and from 109W to 90W.
Total wave heights in that pattern: 11m, occasional 14m.
05/02/2009 As the crow fly'sWe have just over "one thousand, four hundred and forty six nautical miles" to Cape Horn. I think 1446nm sounds better! We are cruising at ten knots with the wind coming over our Port quarter.
03/02/2009 Battening down the hatches.After so many weeks of very little wind we have for the past twenty four hours enjoyed twenty five to thirty kt winds.
