Out Of The Bag is safely on a mooring and we are off in Fiji waiting to deliver K1W1-Beanz to Auckland for Sarah and Gavin. Lovely conditions in Fiji. Currently listening to GHR and weather for next few days.Trust we can have a good trip to Auckland.

Arrived Opua and cleared by Customs by 16:45 4/11/2016. Enjoying time catching up with friends and fellow cruisers. Especially enjoyed celebrating Trevor's birthday on 5th Nov and an early celebration of Bill's birthday 6th with lamb roast and Opua YC

50nm to Opua. Well done and happy landfall

250 to opua. Look out for the rooster tail!

365 to Opua. Looking good.

great cat conditions except for the sloppy swell

about the best signal from a cat we have heard

674 to Opua. i think they are counting!

reported that they have returned to Noumea due adverse winds

on their way to Opua. Complaining about wind direction and speed and Bill wants to go to Bundaberg instead. It might be colder here in NZ but we dont have crocodiles, snakes, poisonous jelly fish & spiders& octopi, ,...flies, excessive heat,....

yep. Confirmed by GHRadio. Thanks for relays Gene

Through Havannah Pass with good current to continue on to Noumea. Have put their position there as I dont have coords for Havannah

Gene was sounding cheerful and said all was well on board. And thankyou for the relays as your strong signal was very helpful to get detail from the light boats. They have 123nm to the Pass

heading to New Cal

2 very tired crew as they have autopilot problems. There is 800 to Opua so they may elect to keep heading to Havannah Pass New Cal as the auto pilot can handle that and the winds will be better to go that direction. And it is closer.
