A 300-mile passage from New Plymouth to the northern tip of New Zealand tests a crew in gale-force conditions and confused seas. The vessel, *Otilla*, encounters 30-knot gusts and heavy swells that frequently wash over the cockpit, forcing the crew to seal the boat with washboards.6:27 Navigating the Cape requires timing the transit to avoid foul tides reaching 2.4 knots and managing a windless period that necessitates engine use.10:30 To mitigate the risk of fouling the propeller on commercial cray pots in the dark, the crew maintains a wide berth in deep water before motoring the final stretch.17:55 Upon arrival at Sandy Bay, the crew finds the surf too heavy for a safe tender landing and opts to remain at anchor.20:16 The passage concludes after three days of sailing, highlighting the challenges of balancing tidal windows, wind shifts, and coastal hazards during a high-latitude transit.21:17
