The EJ's Voyage

We arrived at Marsden Cove, Whangarei, New Zea this morning, Sunday at 10:30 after an 8.5 days passage. All went well. We had strong winds and big swells for the last 48hrs but nothing we couldn't cope with.
It is raining hard here. A gale is going through so we arrived just in time to avoid it at sea. Lucky.
Good to be here.
Good to be here.
Time for a celebratory G&T!!!! Mike is at the bar to watch the rugby, Ireland - Wales I think.
We have done over 25000 nm since we bought the boat in 2000 of which over 6000nm in this trip alone since January. Another ocean crossed. Quite a lot of mileage under our belt!
Tired but happy!
Love
Mike and Catherine
