What’s Westward II upto these days? My Father in law owned this boat for many years in Melbourne and I sailed on it up the east coast. Fond memories (including heaving my guts).

No position sent.

Westward is cleared by customs and officially in New Zealand! After 17 days at sea, our priorities are a shower, a beer and a meal - thankfully the local yacht club all three.
