Leg 2 done!

After an epic sail of more than 600 miles, Blink finished a respectable 5th on line.  A great battle with Anarchy along the south coast and into the harbour was had beating them by a few minutes.  Tony and Craig reported a fantastic sail near the Brothers with the A6 doing speeds in the early 20s.  This was short lived and the more traditional two sail smacking into Wellington took its place.

The decision to go inland near Raglan didn't pay off but seemed right at the time according to weather models on Expedition.  Then fighting their way out of the hole to catch up to the rest of the fleet became a priority.  Running a dry boat for racing meant that no beer was on board and ice creams at Raglan were just out of reach.  Had a beer been opened, no doubt the winds would have started to increase.

The shore crew met two tired boys on the dock with beers and pies. A great finish by Tony and Craig and with a few days of relaxing, the next leg to Napier is likely to start midday Monday.
