Flicked the Garmin on and not sure if readings correct as not that up on it yet , but a broad reaching paddle out with a quartering sea to a point I wanted to check halfway up Ponui gave 51.35 km total for day and max speed of 13.0 km/hr with overall av of 5.0km/hr with a hard paddle back into a 15kn SE .
Alkaline Batteries didn't like the cold and she pulled the pin after 4 hrs or so.
I suppose it registered the drifts and a lot of time was spent doing just that.
Bit of a distraction from the main thrust so it got relegated to inside the cockpit pretty quick and a great day spent catching some middling Snapper with the odd better one.
Caught and released a swag and conditions were not that great, but good to know I can navigate to within 2 mtrs if required.

Day passed enjoyably and even the hard slog home seemed ok .
Well rounded catch- 40-45 cm,
