Anchored Opunga Cove - looks a popular place, pretty small trip today! Towed the trawl net for rubbish samples today. It doesn't like it if it goes over 3.5 knots so a slow trip with one donk idling. Planning on meeting up with Jo and Paul from Kerikeri who we met at whangamumu. We have a slab of Salmon from Tassie to eat on the BBQ. Cheerio Braye

Southern Cross London - Hi from Mabel Trixie

Hi, It is Mabel here, can't wait until my Birthday on the 15th of May, Yippey. I am looking forward to going to Tonga, it sounds like lots of fun.

Southern Cross London - First Blog for Southern Cross 2014 Cruise

Just joined this Yacht in Transit site, a great service. We will endeavor to add blogs when in port and with internet. Otherwise we will contact the crew that run this website by HF Radio and they will update our position on a map so you can see where we are. Currently at the Bay of Islands NZ, plan on spending a couple of weeks here and a little North and then leave for Tonga. The Rainbow Warrior scuttled by the French is sitting in about 20m of water a few hours North so will go for a dive Read more...

on that. More soon once we get organized with this blogging business. Cheerio Braye
