AKL here we come!

Tomorrow (Friday) we fly out to Napier at 11.30am to sail the boat two handed to AKL. The forecast is looking decidedly friendlier than last weekend. No storm warnings in force and no cyclones. The only cyclone we are aware of is sitting off the Australian coast - not anywhere near NZ.

Having caught up with Dave, Anna, Pete and Karen this evening over a lovely dinner, we are all set for tomorrow. We have beautiful meals from Karen's Kitchen - red chicken curry, macaroni cheese, slow cooked beef with Pete's last Ale.... we will definitely be the most fabulously fed crew of all of the RNI fleet.

Tomorrow's tasks are to refuel and rewater the boat. We also need to grab a few things from the super dooper market and then we are away.

From my hug from Sir Robin last night, I feel that what I don't have in Sir Robin's amazing seamanship, I have a little bit of magic or sparkle from that hug. Might be entirely psychological - probably is - but that is all I need!

Looking forward to the 2 handed sea trials. The song "Just the Two of Us" keeps ringing in my mind.
