Crew: Geoff, Bruce, James We met on Halo at 1000 hrs and after the safety briefing we cast off from Chaffers Marina at 1024 hrs. Due to a mixed bag of predicted winds we decided to go conservative and hoisted the No. 3 Jib with full main and headed East past Point Halswell in a brisk (15 kts) NNE wind we averaged 6.5 kts close hauled across the harbour with Bruce on helm. We avoided the Straitsman ferry by about 6 minutes as it crossed our path coming into the harbour. We arrived at the club mooring south of Matiu/Somes island at 1145 hrs. |
