Well, we had no wind really...one night in the middle we had 30+ knots and were reefed right down for about 12 hours hard on the SW wind, but otherwise it was very light...we motored 78 hours in total !
Arrived Opua Wednesday morning after screaming into the Bay at 9 knots on a broad reach in front of a 35 knot Nor'easter. 0930 at the quarantine dock - no issues this time - by 1030 we had cleared customs and quarantine and headed for a rental berth for a few days.
Diva is now on a marina berth at Doves Bay near Kerikeri. John flew home on Friday. Gunilla and I flew to Auckland on Monday morning. I flew to Sydney and she had to wait until 2200 for her flight to Sweden.
So that's it for this year.....let's wait and see what happens next.
Below some pictures from the passage.......
