Pegasus weighed anchor from Nuku Alufa, Tonga at 10am local time (9pm GMT time the day before) today 28 October heading for Opua, Bay of Islands, NZ. We are currently heading just west of the rumb line hoping to miss a low coming in from Fiji. Then, when we get near Minerva reef (an optional stopping place), we will head more westerly hoping to keep north of a high near NZ. Then when we get level with NZ we will head south picking up the westerlies that the high will have caused. That anyway is the theory and current plan, but weather systems move fast in these parts so we will have to see.
Wind at the moment is SE 15-20 kts but the sea is lumpy and not that comfortable. Current position 22:00 local time is 21deg 49.596min S and 176deg 03.991min W.
