Arrived safely in Opua, Bay of Islands early hours of this morning. All good. Now enjoying the after-passage relaxation! Sent from my iPhone

All good on board. Looking forward to arriving in NZ.

Discussing whether to go into opua where eta would be friday evening, rather than marsden on Saturday morning. Stay tuned!

Sailing at last! The wind came up at 16.00. Making great progress on calm seas under a starry sky.

Still motoring. Looks like we?ll get sailing wind later today.

All good onboard, aside from a water maker issue, but made better by being our Italian food day, expertly prepared by our crew buddy Dan. Thanks Tom & Diane
