Well, no perfect weather window for this passage at least does not exist, or rarely does. We lucked into a pretty sweet passage last time we left Fiji for New Zealand.

We waited, analyzed and agonized. Nothing was perfect..

We had better already be in New Zealand before the above forecast comes to fruition,, that is a week away. Gives us a week to make this work.

We will be burning some “Dino Juice” (diesel) anytime the wind drops.

On “Our” Thursday, we left around 2pm, 1100 miles to go

All good on board at midnight, keeping an eye on the shipping traffic out here. Cheers, 1021 miles to go. There are also several other boats out here making this run as well, the customs office was very busy today.

Cheers.
