Whangoroa Harbour and 35 knot winds
Next morning we do a quick pack up and head up to
The wind is starting to pick up. We take a downwind tact and head toward the Harbour mouth. The closer we get the bigger the wind swell and the stronger the wind. We shoot out the harbor and try to check out the sea caves that are in the area. The water is just too big to allow us to go inside. By now the wind has really kicked up and we are faced with 35knt head winds with gusts of 45 knt. There is nothing for it but to just put our heads down and do the hard work. We make headway except in the really big gusts. There is no lee to hide and it just a hard couple of kilometers back to our launch site.
