We sailed most of the 17 miles to Auckland, and as today is Hamish’s 21^st Birthday it seemed only fitting to get him home. His mother Pauline was here to greet us within minutes of our arrival.

We have travelled 19,980 miles since leaving Antibes October 10^th last year. I will spend the next 10 days or so organizing as much as possible before flying home to London for a few months.   This blog will probably go a bit quiet but I will make another entry or two before leaving.
