But not all doom and gloom, we are going to New Zealand for 4 weeks, and are so looking forward to it.

We have had a fantastic time aboard Karinya, and if anyone can ever do such a trip it is really worth doing.  There are hard times and very hard times, but the beauty, fun, enjoyment of the good times far outway the bad.  We have all learnt so much, and grown in our own little way.  

A couple of pictures of our last day on Karinya.

last sail into the marina, its now home.

Last trip to the laundry...can never get the kids to shower so I thought I may try the washing machines

All ready to go.  Packed and boat sparkly.  We were a little more sad than we look!
