Wind Star sailing in a stiff breeze in Tonga
Here's a photo of Wind Star sailing from Tongatapu, Tonga on a 50 Nm hop to Kelefesia in the Ha'apai Group in 2008. After departing at 04:00 and feeling our way out through the shipping channel (some lights were missing) here we're in nice flat water doing about 6 Kts, 3 reefs in the main, genoa partially furled. We could have managed well with 2 reefs but we like to be a bit conservative.
End of a nice day in Whitby
After a nice short sail after work, always nice to relax and watch the sunset
Sydney Harbour August 2011
Weather was not the best (19C - 5kn wind & overcast), but it is winter in Australia!
Canada Day 2011 - First cruise
Canada Day 2011
Finally! The weather cooperated for the July first long week-end for Canada Day 2011.
Wind Star anchored in Kuto Bay, Ile des Pins New Caledonia.
Amazing cruising grounds in New Caledonia, we enjoyed three months there in 2010, returning to New Zealand - seven days on port tack, hard on the wind (pinching) 3 litres of diesel consumed in 1000 miles :-)
Anchored Out
Palmetto Moon anchored in a beautiful spot.
