WOW WOW WOW

I have done and been to some amazing places but after five days of hard work this is without a doubt the most amazing place I have ever been, google Minerva Reef and be green with envy, last night Eva had a bath in the middle of the pacific ocean at anchorage enclosed by a reef, it is mind boggling, I had a naked shower under the stars, we are in awe, smelling the roses and living the moment, it has me in tears to be having these experiences with Eva.

Lastly a combined email, Dad have a great trip to the US and enjoy the peace and quiet :-), no more Eva, mum or me enjoy.

An update

Well here we are, after a solid 24 hours of motoring in no wind and a big confused sea we have crossed 30 degrees and down to shorts only, really warm and stunning weather with the most amazing indigo blue ocean for company, sails up again but motor sailing at 6.5knots, all is good on board, Tracy is back on deck after a bad bout of seasickness, suppositories and all!! Michelle is exceeding expectations and delivering all the way, Eva is a star and adapted better than all of us, it still amazes me what she can sleep through!!

Next time hopefully an update from Minerva reef.

31degrees 27 South, 176degress 54 East

Morning, here we are on passage, it has been a rough first 36 hours, a bit of sea sickness and a mix of great sailing and motoring, we are now 495 miles from minerva reef bang on course and doing approximately 6.0 knots, so at this rate probably another 3 days to a bit of much needed R&R. Eva has settled in great just the girls a finding it pretty tough, bye for now.

Done & Dusted

The boats packed, Tray and Michelle are here, a week until we go and finally a chance to relax and catch up on some much needed sleep, planning at this stage to leave next Saturday weather depending and looking forward to setting sail and heading north to the warmth, sun and adventure.

The girls are great and Eva loves them to bits already so all has come together better than expected, A BIG THANK YOU to New World, I can't say enough about Dave and Deanne, they are so much better than great people and they have gone above and beyond to help, I will miss their friendship and look forward to spending time with them when we get back.

So Bonn Voyage, not sure when next you will hear from us but we will do our best to keep you updated on where and what we are doing.

Something a little different

Stumbled on this website recently, if you are after something handmade and a little different then worth a look, always cool to support Kiwis having a go, I looked at the kids clothing and there is some really great stuff.
