February 6, 2022 – a real-time post.
Here we sit in Tauranga, waiting for weather to go south. This is what the picture looks like for the next week. Aaarrrgh!
We ducked into Tauranga when the weather to get south turned bad. We took advantage of the time here to get Legacy’s bottom painted. Now we’re restless. It’s time to move on, but it’s not to be, at least for a week or so.
Oh well, such is cruising. -Rich
Update, 30 minutes later…
OK, there’s a possible thread-the-needle weather window leaving Tuesday (2 days from now). It’s possible if we give up this notion of a comfortable, easy sail and settle for a just-barely possible passage. We’ll keep an eye on it.
