From Bob
McDavitt, NZ weather angel:
L2
may clear off NZ on Thursday or Friday and
that could then make a good weather pattern with a settling
southerly flow for
anyone looking to sail away from northern NZ. Too early to tell
at this
stage what may happen during the remainder of such voyages.
Our
other sources say “remainder
of such voyages” should have SE trade winds – perfect.
You’ve
got to love living on
a boat with Barry. I
quote: “I was just
sitting here thinking about screw sizes.”
I actually did laugh out loud.
Then he proceeded to tell me all about screw sizes and
how smart George
Pruitt is.

We are experiencing a
gully whomper with much lightening and thunder. No time to have the boat
with the tallest mast in the marina. We don't.
New Zealand facts: New Zealand has the
highest rate of melanoma of any country in the world.
There were 70
(according to Forest and Bird magazine) species of moa before
the Polynesians/ Maori arrived and killed them all. Wikipedia says there were
9 species – I wonder why the difference.
Moa and giant Haast’s Eagle – both extinct by 1400 AD
