This, of course, is a positive thing because it means we went flying...
Probably the best day in a while. Track below.
Having reviewed the track I see a 68km final glide fom the Waikato river to home with 1500ft to spare.
The forecast was "spot on"...climbs of 5-6 knots, bases of 6-7000ft. Light winds and a few convergences away from the coast. If we'd been a bit earlier we probably would have made National Park as they was a strong convergence running along the western lake edge. Still a 300km out and return to National Park will be a big ask...
I ran into some itinerant Auckland pilots as well.
