Day 5, 230 nm to go. Stunning conditions again thanks to the big high pressure system sitting of the top of North Island at the moment. Unfortunately we lost our radar earlier in the trip but Melvina is equipped with a Teledyne FLIR Marine camera so we have had her running during night watches to give us some vision in the night. Awesome bit of kit and a great back up to a radar (obviously not to be used for collision avoidance)

Day 3 has been a quiet one. We managed to empty our 800L bladders into our aft tank so good to have them off the deck. W...

Day 3 has been a quiet one. We managed to empty our 800L bladders into our aft tank so good to have them off the deck. Weather had been beautiful with 10kn easterly and half a meter swell.
Unfortunately our night watches are going to be extra spicy with a fleet of longlines going right over our planned route. Hopefully they leave some Tuna for us to catch in a couple months time.

Day 2 has brought us more settled seas with wind and sea easing to 10-15kn on our beam with a lazy 1m sea. Fortunately t...
