Kia Ora Whanau,

The trainees are all settling in well and getting to know each other and all about ship life.  After throwing lines in Opua we were off for the week. This afternoon was spent at Motoarohia Island, we went for a walk up to the lookout to checkout our bay playground for the week, then back to the beach for some games. Back to the ship and time to learn about going aloft, the trainees got harnessed up and up they went to explore the rigging. More adventures to come.
