Happy Christmas. We left pier21, Auckland, on Christmas Day at 4 PM after 8 weeks of maintaining and repairing. It was a fine sunny day with 15kts from the SW blowing us on our way. We had a fine Christmas dinner south of Waiheke, Baked Salmon and then Pavlova. Various Santas had left or sent presents and we enjoyed opening them. Thank you all. The wind headed and dropped overnight so progress is steady but slow.
