Guest Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Pretty glassy here in Napier but a small off shore breeze building, not siught of any boats this side of Kidnappers, looks like it may be a long night ofr most whilst the crews of the first three are tucked up in bed.

Guest Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hey boatslut. Valium should be next one in - hoping early morning. Be great if you could be there with a fresh rum and some hot food... Link to post Share on other sites

floatsome 0 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Good job Gary! Looks like M1 will take over the overall PHRF lead by less than 10 Mins over Akatea, will make for an interesting last leg, with perhaps a Sourherly forecast?? Link to post Share on other sites
splashprincess 17 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Repairs = M1 blew out their Code Zero. Valium finished next, then Bird on a Wing. We have heard the radio call from Coppelia that they are round Cape Kidnappers but not sure if there is anyone else in between as I did turn the VHF off to get some sleep. Akatea is going up on the travel lift to check the keel. Link to post Share on other sites
