We are leaving! We had two beautiful days yesterday and the day before, finished all our jobs on the boat and are ready to go.

Unfortunately, it is a bit overcast this morning and we had a few rain showers but hopefully it will pass. No wind so it will probably be a motor sailing trip. We are only going 45nm North today, anchoring in the bay of Wangaruru tonight and on to the Bay of Islands tomorrow.

We may not have internet access everywhere but will always be contactable via our Satellite (email: falbala {CHANGE TO AT} mailasail {DOT} com).

We had a nice meal last night in a local restaurant with Karen and Paul from "GiGi".

More news soon...
