[status]well folks we are under the 30 just and not far from home , Thursday is looking at our day of arrival , not sure of the time but our guess is around after lunch . this passage has been so easy with good direction and strength and for the sea state for being what sailors dream of not getting thrown around another than the to b Bare expected back in the passes around Fiji. and it looks like we miss out on the boat being washed as 6mls in front is a rain shower.

[status]We can see land and expect to be tied up outside the quarantine wharf at Opua about 2300hrs. It?s been a lot of motoring in the last 3 days, but it?s been easy and even coming into NZ the sun is shining and it?s relatively warm. Not at night though as we are both layered up big time. Looking forward to going for a walk and seeing a few people we haven?t seen for a while. It?s good to home.
