Kia Ora,

Everyone is settling in well and laughter is filling the ship. After leaving the wharf today we headed out into the bay for some safety drills and then anchored at Motuarohia Island for the rest of the day. We went ashore at the island and spent some time checking out the tide pools. A walk up to the lookout and back to ship for an evening of getting to know each other.
