Day 25 - Good and Bad

Monday, 28 May 2007

Date May 26 2007 06:12GMT Position 038° 29'S 177° 12'W Speed 0.4 knots Course 232 Degrees True Wind Conditions  SW 1.0 knots The good news is that Tony Bullimore is now within 125 miles of New Zealand's East Cape.The bad news is that at 06:00 GMT, Doha was completely becalmed! Lee Bruce, Tony's weather router, predicts that conditions will stay much the same for another day before the breeze fills in from the South with a 25knot blast between 06:00 and 12:00 GMT But he does warn of the possibility of a swing to the SW late today, which could push Doha north of Cape Colville and make it harder for Tony to reach the Hauraki Gulf on one tack.
