79 miles to go and still very little wind! 💨 This 79 miles to go and still very little wind! 💨 This has been the weirdest passage to New Zealand 🇳🇿 3 days of motoring with 1-4 knots of wind and we are definitely going to be arriving on fumes! The wind “should” pick up this afternoon and we hope to arrive to @bayofislandsmarina sometime around midnight tonight ahead of the front arriving tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞 Excited to be back 💛
Super excited we got to see Rainbow Warrior III up Super excited we got to see Rainbow Warrior III up close and personal right before we left! They are in Fiji for the The Pre-COP 31 climate meeting prior to COP31 in Türkiye. Such important work 💛💛💛
What a lovely first full day in Fulaga! We started What a lovely first full day in Fulaga! We started with sevusevu with the Chief of the village followed by a tour of the village and a presentation by the local artisans. We then had a lovely meal and tea with our village host, Lucy. We also got more freshly grown fruits and veggies! We moved to a new anchor spot and had fun exploring the beach 😊
