Day 2 - WYS Barrier Cruise

Darren Johnson

Left Huse Bay, Waiheke early, headed for Kawau. Still a northerly, so motored north and sailed west. When I let the Genoa out, the line to the roller furler broke, so I was stuck with too much sail up. I therefore sailed west to Tiri for shelter to fix the roller furler and for some lunch before motoring straight into the wind to Kawau. Quite comfortable with the cockpit enclosure up. The trailer boats went to Kawau, while most of the keelers went straight to the Barrier. Tonight the trailer boats are raft-up in Bostaque Bay, Kawau. It is raining, so some of the fleet ended up under my new BW Yachts Bimini and cockpit enclosure. We are expecting a north-westerly, then southerly, change tomorrow morning that will take us to the Barrier a day later than planned.
