So good to be back in New Zealand and back on the water after a 6 week hiatus while we went back to work and Fin Explorer waited patiently for us on the hard. Splashed her a couple of days ago, provision and everything sorted for our final leg of our NZ 🇳🇿 circumnavigation!! Good sailing conditions today with around 20 knots of wind and just 1 metre seas. Some downwinding, beam reach and upwind. From all three sails out to one reef in the main. All conditions! Good to shake off the cobwebs! Just me and my hubby as we prepare to cross to Australia! (Steve was even wearing his Olukai’s to represent!)
