Cool thanks.
Luckily I meet the marina requirements as well so I can get into Opua marina fine.
Weather looking good for next few days for heading north…

Looks like light / moderate E/SE which might not be enough to blow me north very fast - thinking about doing it in one big hop tomorrow but see how I feel tomorrow…

Thinking that maybe it’s the day I dig out the big scary colourful sail in the bottom of the sail locker that I’ve never used before - do I dare try it on my own?  |

This weekend's forecast looking good, suggest all get out there Friday: Southeast 15 knots turning easterly 15 knots early afternoon then easing to 10 knots at night. Cloudy periods and a few showers. Easterly swell 1.5 metres.
Saturday: Easing to variable 5 knots early. Fine breaks. Easterly swell easing to 1 metre.
Sunday: Easterly 15 knots developing. Fine breaks. Easterly swell 1 metrebecause the long range forecast for the following weekend could be shaping up to be El Crapo  |

Big pink MPS ? No that wasn’t me but I saw a smaller boat with one that was inside me around Whangarei Heads around 5.30pm. Is that the one you were talking about? |

anchored at Moturekareka near the wreck, very pleasant. Lots of people out here enjoying themselves. Have a couple of Brazilian cut steaks (Picanha) to go on the BBQ tonite. |
