Looks like you where enjoying the same big high we have been.
I was bringing a boat down from Queensland last week, and there was an intense high (fairly stationary) over the Tasman Sea from Friday which was creating a North-Easterly (for us), 15 knot wind though Bass Strait, very pleasant following conditions, all the way home to Tas.
We had mid to high 20's over the weekend as well.
Is Auckland sheltered from the southerlies of the approaching highs?
Nice pictures, thanks, that's a lovely anchorage in the first one
Mind you, we had our own bit of t-shirt weather on Saturday, a balmy 20 degs in the Solent. It was the calm before the storm though, F8 winds and horizontal rain on Sunday
