Today was the best of the passage so far. Strong winds and moderate seas gave us lots of mileage. We now have 700 miles to New Zealand.
This passage is the first time we have hired a professional weather forecasting service. It can be a tough passage if you don't get it right. Commanders Weather told us when it was good to go, and projected our winds, seas, and estimated positions for the whole passage. So far they have been right on. We also get our own weather charts, etc., using the HF radio. So far, so good.
