We will be crossing the Tasman Sea a bit before the usual months of November to April. The Tasman can be extremely rough if crossed in winter when the eastward moving low pressure systems are often accompanied by strong SW winds.

When approaching NZ, the route passes near the Three Kings group of rocks, which should be navigated with care. It is possible to clear in to NZ at Opua on the Bay of Islands. From Opua to Auckland is a bit over 150 miles.

According to Cornell's World Cruising Routes, "only a handful of cruising yachts take this classic route across the Southern Ocean. Most of the passage is made in to Roaring Forties". He recommends heading SE until westerlies are met. This can be as far south as 55°S in the summer months of December to February.At that latitude, the westerlies are more reliable, but not always. Icebergs were reported as far north as 54°S during the 1986 Whitbread race, but with global warming, that may not be the case any longer.
