Have been on sea anchor for 3 days and will need to be on it another day. All well and Robin sounds pleased with the way the boat is handling conditions. They now have a sked with Gulf Harbour radio every evening. Through Sunday anyway by which time they will be on their way.

We were not successful in our attempt as we did not get a weather window satisfactory to us within the time we had to depart. So we spent a few days sailing the Northland Coast then returned to our mooring in Mahurangi. We plan to go in January instead. I am looking for crew with ocean experience for the trip so if you are interested please contact me on robin.smart2@bigpond.com .

Dear Sir, I understand you are looking for a crew member to sail across the Tasman Sea. I am a naval architect and boat builder (by trade), with commercial qualifications with a passion for catamaran. I'd be very interested in talking to you, if you are still looking please cantact me. I currently live in Sydney but can fly to NZ.
