Not really the sort of soft start we were hoping for. Still in fog and no wind and using some precious diesel to trickle south to where the wind should be. Otherwise, it looks as if we’d be stuck … Continue reading

Topic(s): Birds, Stars, Yacht Sarau We’re moving again, heading south to find the westerlies. Just spoke to SarauYacht with which Berri had a rendezvous at sea – it’s (skipper) Malcolm’s birthday today, so we felt it necessary to consult with Dr CooperCoopersCoopers Sparkling Ale: - according to Alex: “brewed in the bottle, so a bit of sludge comes with it - best beer on the planet - beats a Pan Galactic Gargleblaster hands down”. Also a home brew from a Cooper’s Kit, perfected by onboard master-brewer Pete. See Pete’s interesting equation Sparkling Ale: - according to Alex: “brewed in the bottle, so a bit of sludge comes with it - best beer on the planet - beats a Pan Galactic Gargleblaster hands down”.

See Pete’s interesting equation on his behalf and there’s a chance we can rendezvous, at about 4740 17155. Probably dark when we get there and we will be there first, so we will turn left and run the latitude and let them catch up. They will be about 30 miles behind and going 2 kt faster so about a 15 hour chase. Makes for an interesting few hours. … Continue reading

It seems we may be able to wave goodbye to NZ. We are running along 4740S waiting for SarauYacht with which Berri had a rendezvous at sea to catch up. I think it will take them about 22-24 hours … Continue reading

Happy Birthday HilaryAlex’s partner and Katherine’s mother [ed: alex’s better half – no arguments there!] Rendezvous! Dank and clammy, thick foggy mist, vis about 400 metres, cold, everything dripping wet. We’d been doing some position swapping and SarauYacht with which Berri had a rendezvous at sea appeared motoring out of the clag about 400 metres off our port quarter. Very special moment, recorded from both ends on video, followed by exchange of bottles – we got a bottle of merlot and they got a dose of Dr CooperCoopersCoopers Sparkling Ale: - according to Alex: “brewed in the bottle, so a bit of sludge comes with it - best beer on the planet - beats a Pan Galactic Gargleblaster hands down”.
