[Status] At 0800 13 November 2018 WE ARRIVED at Marsden Cove Marina. Weatherwise it was one of our better passages. Knowing you are waiting breathlessly for trip statistics, here they are:

Total miles: 1137
Total time: 189 hrs - 7 days, 21 hrs
Average speed: 6 kts
Sailing time: 112 hrs
Engine time: 77 hrs
Dolphines spotted: 0
Flying fish: 2 dead on deck

Our plan is to stay at this marina a few days to clean up and decompress. Then head to home port, Gulf Harbour. From there we will begin process to fix several items on the boat, including depth sounder, leaking shaft seal, a engine vibration which may be due to propellor and/or drive shaft. After that, we expect to do some cruising around NZ before heading back to Fiji in May 2019. Will let you know when you can communicate with us via land based internet. Waiting for customs to show up to check us into NZ. That is all.

Cheers
John & Leilani
