Wow, pretty wicked weather of the west coast of NZ. Looks like you'll miss the outer edge of the bad stuff. We hope you get to south easterlies soon. Seems to be a pretty good no-wind zone you're in now, eh?

in high and radio is grim so GHR will have to rely on relays unless it gets better as they get further away

That was to say that Laura was screaming along up on one pontoon lots on the mini cat and WindDancer was motoring into the wind!

Tell Daniel to confiscate Laura's passport otherwise she'll beat you to SavuSavu. !
