Looks like you have made it to New Zealand! You will love it! Congratulations! We have parked Charisma in Port Townsend, WA and are headed back to the Bay Area for the winter.

Hi Chris and Christine, Maria from the boat Peregrine has asked me to contact you - they left Fiji today, Monday, and would like to keep in touch with you while they do the passage to NZ. Could you perhaps email her on WDD7544@sailmail.com. Thanks. Irene

Welcome to NZ. I've been following you with interest after my daughter Nat on the Jenny told me about yit. (Great website!) Enjoy your time here :-)

Linda, We are in Gulf Harbour for the next couple of months. If Nat is about we would encourage her to drop by for a visit. Chris and Chris
