20 mins and an alarm clock. Normally sleep on deck.
If I get tired I'll heave to for a few hours.
Thinking about that trip Wellington to Auckland, I was really enjoying it up to losing steering and autopilot somewhere between east cape and Colville channel. But I did discover steering a 60ft schooner with a 6 ft emergency tiller is possible, if a little tedious.

I might be about to dump some, I need to pull it out and inspect. Whangaparaoa though, you could sail here.

I'm still on my 8 year old coppercoat.

Coca cola, overnight soak. You'll never drink that sh*t again but your tiller will have a shiny new seat.

I have done plenty, most recently Wellington to Auckland, might have another 1 or 2 left in me.
No, I'm wrong, since then I have done cairns to Brisbane single handed.

We're cleaning out the storage locker, so I thought I'd put these here before trying trade me. Sextant is a zeiss yachtmaster.

I think it should be the skippers decision. I was interested that a couple of countries visited recently insisted on ais and that it be on. Ours stopped transmitting at one point and they got agitated. " is there a technician on this island who can look at it?". Nope.

That sucks, I don't have radar and actually have no intention to fit it.

I came back to the boat and had to chase a monkey out of the galley

There is no statutory licensing of marine surveyors, caveat emptor applies. $160 a metre plus disbursements and GST? One would expect the report to be written on a papyrus scroll with gold lettering.
The question I would ask; is the surveyor insured and whats your comeback if a fault is discovered down the track if you subsequently relied on the survey to make a purchasing or maintenance decision
In which case can I write my own?

Black Panther has won more than once. We don't participate now as Angela really dislikes racing.
