Saraoni

South Coast 36 ketch

We left NZ in 2006 and returned in 2015. We circumnavigated the world via Australia, Asia, the Red Sea, the Med, South America, the Caribbean and islands of the Pacific, including the Galapagos, The Marquesas, French Polynesia, Suwarrow in the Cooks and Tonga. Currently in New Caledonia after leaving Saraoni at Port Ouenghi Marina for 3 months of the cyclone season. We are circumnavigating New Caledonia in 2018 and hope to get Saraoni back to NZ in October as we are now looking for another boat after nearly 20 years living aboard Saraoni and 12 more before that on our kauri classic, "Corsair"; Check out our adventures at https://www.sailblogs.com/member/saraoni/ They are many and varied.
