Kia Ora Whanau,

Welcome back to some regular blog posts, we are out of maintenance and back into voyaging; yaThis morning we welcomed aboard 11 wonderful rangatahi to embark on a journey of their life time. We set off from the wharf and made our way through the drizzle over to Marsden Cross. In our way we learnt about life on board the ship and about each other as well. Once we were anchored we set off for shore to go for a hikoi and check out our playground for the week. Back to the ship for a swim and a yummy dinner. We are a happy bunch and settling in to being in each others company aboard this beautiful waka.
