Great Post Morrie. We meet and had a conversation when you stayed in Lyttelton Marina. Look forward to you post on the return journey to Australia.

Well done Morrie! Inspiring!

Well done. The Tassy is not the easiest passages. You did a great job coming around Farewell Spit. Thank god you had the Owl keeping a lookout! LOL. Maaaate NZ doesn't rip you off when you land. You don't have to hand over your criminal record! LOL. I hope you had a great stay here in NZ.

Awesome! 😊

Gday Morrie Love this and you make it always look so easy. Very pleasant, sunny weather and calm sailing apart from that small thunderstorm and a few gails. You should leave the abatrosses alone mate hahaha. The predict wind program you use is really handy. I thought Al was a real person but now I know he's just the owl haha. French Pass looks stunning. Love to see it in the future. Look forward to catching up with you real soon 🍻 Spratty

[@Vcagle30]

Were you tethered when you were walking around the front of the boat?

[@grahammewburn]

G'day Morrie What a Bonza passage mate! May I ask why you chose Picton? I may make the same voyage one day as I have Grandchildren in Kiwiland. Cheers Gray Brisbane Australia
