Chris. Can you give me an idea of the dates you left and departed each leg of the journey. I know you departed NZ at the start of June and arrived at Rapa Iti 2 weeks later. I know the times you spent doing each leg but a rough guide of what dates you did each leg would be really helpful so I can look in more detail at weather patterns etc. I was locked into Hawaii but I did not really fancy it and fortunately i came across your post and thought brilliant! I will have to look up and get hold of the old admiralty sailing directions for square riggers. Thanks again in advance. Andy
