Christmas as it should be. Surrounded by family both old and young, superb fresh food, lots of stunning wine and presents galore. We're glad we are home to share it with the ones we love.

Sorry......We've been rather slack since getting back home. Already our focus has moved from cruising and we're looking at what our next adventure will be here on land. Things are moving fast, we've been extremely busy sorting out our next move and we may have some news of what that might be this side of Christmas....watch this space!!

We couldn't have wished for a better home coming. As we sailed down the coast and into Auckland our family was on North Head along with a huge banner which said 'WELCOME HOME LONG WHITE CLOUD'.
After we turned the corner into the jaws of the usual south west wind, we hurriedly dropped sails, put on sail covers, dressed 'CLOUD' in her celebratory flags and prepared ourselves for a docking surrounded by family and friends.
That only upped the excitement levels with Stephen hoping he wasn't going to duff the maneuver with everyone watching. All went well and it was champagne all round...a very big day.
