Departing Nelson - for real this time

The plan is to depart Nelson tomorrow (Thursday) in the AM. It looks like conditions will be similar to the ones we (Twister and I) had coming into Tasman Bay, but after a day or two it should be smooth sailing up to Cape Reinga. If the wind continues to cooperate, we'll sail straight to Auckland. If not we'll stop somewhere between Bay Of Islands and Auckland. Hopefully we'll be in Auckland in a week.

Oh, this afternoon I saw a boat I recognized moored next to Twister. It was a surprise to see Sean whom I met in American Samoa. He sailed from American Samoa to Tonga then to New Zealand and has been making his way down the east coast of the North Island and through the Cook Strait.
