A 1965 Alberg 30, *Triteia*, completes a 400-nautical-mile passage from New Plymouth to the South Island of New Zealand, navigating the Tasman Sea and Cook Strait.0:25 The solo sailor departs New Plymouth at 4 a.m. to round Cape Egmont, avoiding adverse winds and currents.2:24 The passage involves light-wind motoring followed by 20-knot winds in Cook Strait, where the vessel encounters steep, short-period waves.42:51 To manage the conditions, the crew rigs a wing-and-wing configuration, then shifts to a third-reefed mainsail as winds increase.8:06 Upon reaching Port Hardy, the sailor struggles to locate mooring balls in the dark and ultimately anchors in 200 feet of chain.53:01 The transit highlights the necessity of timing departures around coastal capes to avoid wind-against-tide conditions and the challenge of identifying moorings in unlit anchorages.
