Dear All We have arrived in Opua and just cleared customs and immigration. We are having a celebratory Drink. We had a great trip down. The weather gods were with us all the way. First the South Easter trade winds had a rare change to the North East which gave us a flying start. We did a few days of over 160 miles. The low pressure that was predicted underneath New Caledonia never eventuated. The only testing time was 400 miles north of New Zealand when we had strong Southerly Headwinds. Eventually they changed to the East and we sailed again directly to NZ. The last 30 hours we motored. The big high over the top of New Zealand killed all the wind and the ocean was like a milk pond. I will leave the boat now in Opua for the summer to enjoy the Bay of Islands. It has been an amazing 3 months. Did lots of wonderful exploring, met many friendly locals and other sailors and was blessed with family and friends joining me for part of the adventure. Thank you all for your comments and messages. Hope to catch you soon for a catch up. Cheers Joannes

txt from the crew at 8.20 am- motored all night due to lack of wind. Beautiful sunrise and cloud formation. Put the sun shade up today! Boat looks like a laundry with all the wet gear out to dry. Turned the motor off this afternoon and spent time floating so they could swim!!! All is well, happy sailors! Looking at arriving Fiji Saturday. Bronwyn
