Our wandering home is now safely on the ground in Whangarei for a while. She has kept us safe in all sorts of conditions. Thanks Mari.
Safely tucked up in Whangarei Marina next to Willpower. What a lovely surprise to see Chris and Ingrid again.
David has been a great crew member. Here he is gazing at NZ and wondering if he’d be better off swimming for shore than waiting the 5 hours until we get to Q-dock….
We’ve had an interesting, and at times a quite trying (and tiring) passage. We expect to be tied up alongside the Opua quarantine dock by 1am Sunday.
We have been welcomed to NZ waters by a pod of orcas this morning…. fantastic!
Looking forward to going for a walk after 7 days of nothing but sitting, sleeping, eating and generally living life on an angle.
Clears up, Uggies on, blankie over the knees…. its tough out here!
