Kia Ora friends and whanau,

We had a great last day onboard. The cloud rolled in today but that didn’t slow us down. We spent the morning ashore in the bay of islands, on Moturua island. Beach football, capture the flag and a walk kept us moving and the spirits high. It was nice to have some solid shore time after a big passage yesterday. After lunch we hauled anchor and moved across the bay to Roberton Island. After a swim and afternoon tea we ventured ashore again to climb the hill, make some sandcastles, and scout out the area for spotlight later. We just devoured an awesome roast pork for dinner and are looking forward to our last night as a whanau. What an epic adventure the past week has been. So many memories, looking forward to sharing them all with you tomorrow.

Ma te wa.
