Ok here’s the boring stuff the
24-hour run 126.71 nms that's from 1300 to 1200
today We left Napier around 1300 yesterday,
looking at the weather report we thought if we made good time to Cape Palliser
we might be able to make it to Wellington before the big winds come in, then we
could wait a while in a safe marina before the more favourable winds on the
following day. I'm sure we all had an interesting night, last
night, the wind direction and speed varied as did the sea way, but apart from
that it must be said it was a
refreshing. We had an interesting encounter we a confused Sea
Seal about 1000, who from the way he was jumping out of the water he thought
that he was a Dolphin!! At the moment we are making our way to Cape
Palliser, Conditions aren’t to bad in the entry into Cook
strait, it might be a little windy but the forecast is indicating that the wind
will drop and come in from a more favourable
direction. Well my thoughts are that the forecast have been
a little repetitive than informative, so we’ll wait to see what happens when we
turn the corner. Kind Regards from the crew
of ‘Duende’
