Hello all Lisanne Friends.

After a long break for the hurricane season Lisanne is now ready to sail again. We have been home for Christmas and New Year as well as Easter. We got a lot of skiing in in Hemsedal this year where there was more snow than ever before and super conditions. We have also travelled the beautiful country of New Zealand from North to South and sailed in the Bay of Islands.

Lisanne is now ready to go. We were stuck on land for a week as  the Travellift crane broke down. It was very frustrating to see the other boats leave and we couldn´t get anywhere. But now we are redy to go. Tomorrow we will set course on Vanuatu, the tropical Island group 1000 Nm to the north. It will be nice to get north to the warmer weather as the winter is approaching here in NZ.  We have about six days sailing there and the weather forecast looks excellent.
