A 148-mile passage from Anchorage Bay in Tasman National Park to New Plymouth, New Zealand, requires a strategic detour around Cape Egmont to avoid adverse winds.2:54 The crew monitors engine temperatures, which rise by 5 degrees due to the alternator load on their lithium battery bank; reducing the DC-DC charger output by half lowers the engine temperature by 10 degrees.7:42 During the transit, the crew encounters winds reaching 27 knots, necessitating three reefs in the mainsail and Genoa adjustments to maintain speed.13:16 They prepare for potential downwind sailing by rigging a spinnaker pole on the port side to facilitate easier sail handling during the night.16:44 Upon arrival at New Plymouth, the crew opts to pick up an unidentified mooring rather than anchoring in the swell-exposed harbor entrance.22:59 The passage confirms that careful route planning around known wind-prone capes and active management of electrical loads can mitigate engine overheating during long motor-sailing legs.
