Rare cheznandy Posted October 15, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Beautiful pic David. We did the Sounds on the Diamond, lots of good viewing space up top forward. We were in there with the Radiance, so gorgeous. Chez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By The Bay Posted October 15, 2015 #8 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Just checked the cam again this evening and looks like they have very calm seas as they set out to cross the Tasman..:) Thanks for the update Kiwi Kruzer. Just checked it out and it's as you say, smooth seas with no white caps. Can't wait until we board her on Sunday.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobart18 Posted October 15, 2015 #9 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Thanks David for all the great photos you have posted whilst the Golden is in your neck of the woods, most appreciated. We have sailed to New Zealand twice and have missed sailing through Milford Sound on both times due to bad weather, it is much better to be safe and sound than sorry. I hope the next try will be more fruitfull. We have sailed passed Napier due to bad high winds, one time the Dawn was actually docked in Napier and they had two tugs pushing against her all day to keep her against the dock. there wasn't much room either when she left port so that is most probably why the Golden will not dock there as she is a much longer ship.

Rare MicCanberra Posted October 15, 2015 #10 Share Posted October 15, 2015 And I thought Wellington was the windy city, sounds like Napier can give it a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted October 15, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted October 15, 2015 And I thought Wellington was the windy city, sounds like Napier can give it a run. Depends on the wind direction. Napier is exposed to the East and so cops it when an easterly gale blows in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, thanks for that. I suppose nearly any port may be susceptible to wind if it comes from the wrong direction as the ships are so large now.

sir-magoo Posted October 18, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 18, 2015 We actually got into Dusky sound, missed doubtful due to weather, then got into Milford sounds. A bit cold and windy, but really lovely in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit cold and windy, but really lovely in there. Good work, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Now you know why it is called doubtful.:cool: Edited October 18, 2015 by MicCanberra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
