[status]We've arrived!!! YAY! Found the Q wharf in Auckland with some difficulty at 1am. We then crashed for 5 hrs (bliss) and got woken by customs knocking on our hull at 7am. All done and dusted in 30 mins but they did take my baby clam shells. Oh well, was worth a try. We're now back at Pier21, berth A16. Just had a lovely day with Sara, Ham & Lily who came with avocado, strawberries, bacon. The bottle of bubbly that did the trip up and back was opened and we toasted family and friends. Thank you all for your comments and support. Thank you Karie-L, our strong little 65yr old ship.[END]
The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.
