Voyage Log 2002 Auckland to Kermadecs

First Pictures of the Voyage from Auckland to Tonga -


Restowing the mainsail, as we get ready to leave Princes Wharf Auckland		On the Hauraki Gulf, an America's Cup Yacht is spotted.

Tony steers as we sail to our first anchorage at Kawau		Is it Team New Zealand? No GBR Challenge

A quite start on the foredeck		Getting the main sail ready

Haul away throat halyard		Haul away on the peak

Paddy and Nat prepare the vangs

The next day the weather turns grey and wet as we head north out of the Hauraki Gulf. But big low weather system will bring rain and headwinds..

Eric changes a blown main staysail		Vcrew on the helm, safety lines rigged from the gallows

New main stays'l made ready		John and co, trying to make sense of the braces

Damp bow watch		Mark savours the dry of the deckhouse

Phil fettles 24V pump		Now there's time to read that Hemmingway book
