New Caledonia to New Zealand PART 2 | Sailing with Six | Ep 42
In this episode you find us in the middle of the ocean about a third of the way from New Caledonia to New Zealand. We have our good friend Neville on board who brings plenty of laughs and we are racing to beat the next low pressure system to New Zealand.
The low pressure systems come across the Tasman about once a week and usually sit below 30 degrees South giving sailors time to hove-to if need be, or press on swiftly to the safety of land depending on the size and speed of the system.
This passage is filled with a mix of motoring, variable winds, and some consistent and building wind as we get to the top of North Cape. Join us as we experience all the wonderful and diverse array of things that can happen on passage, especially with kids (and Nev) on board. And keep an eye out for the NZ customs dog, Willow, with her shoes on!
