This pesky weather just keeps on. We have abandoned our plans to leave the Barrier for now and it is 1130 on Sunday. We had heard the forecast last night which was encouraging with a wind shift more to the south and dropping in strength. However, at 3 this morning we were having 19 knots at anchor - and in a sheltered anchorage at that! Fortunately here (Karaka Bay in Port Abercrombie) the wind was offshore so no real problem but just unpleasant with the wind howling and the wind power generator screaming its little heart out! Still, we do need to make some power. Other than that the weather is fine and the sun is shining so not all bad.
If one can believe the forecast it is looking a lot better for tomorrow so that's most likely when we will leave. The wind is at last expected to be more southerly and a more comfortable wind strength - not hanging on by our toenails!!
As always watch this space!
