I think it’s that you know what you’re doing, you did a great job of explaining virtually everything happening. Your confidence & knowledge makes everyone feel safer for everyone onboard. It’s still nice that so many other boats were around though!

Bart, I have obviously following you from day 1 many congratulations on reaching New Zealand. It is wonderful to see that Tranquility has seen you through safely. Your seamanship is to be commended. We will always have a spot for Tranquility in our hearts.You have taken her so much further than we ever thought possible during our ownership. Best wishes Steve.

That was a great video... very authentic... it was obvious how worried you were when suddenly leaving Manura Reef, not an optimal start of such a trip. I would have been worried, too. But, again, you did it! I'd say not only Tranquility performed very well - you did, too. What a feeling it must have been to approach the shores of Aotearoa... actually, my wife and I also cried when watching you sailing into the Bay of Islands... well done!!

Yes it was far from ideal. Luckily though we made up the plan to leave on friday allready. But we were talked out of it by the weather router. So when we all of a sudden left we knew it was in the end our own decision to go at this day. It really was a very emotinal moment. Thanks for sharing how you and your wife are feeling with us😇

Super well done. Always a tricky passage that one. I have been following you from the beginning, and every time there is a big sailing challenge you EASILY rise to it. That is because it is very obvious that your sailing experience is actually much deeper than many cruisers. The boat is always so well set up. Great crew. And it's always amazing how fast a well prepared and well sailed smaller boat can be! Again, well done!

Rond minuut 38 sla je de nagel op de kop. Een boot moet in balans zijn. Dan hoef je zeker geen brede, twin-rudder fantasietjes. Gewoon degelijk gebouwd, genoeg kiel en liefst nog een roer op een skeg. Daar ga je de wereld mee rond. Ook op een boot van 10m. Wij varen een Contest 31HT. Het eerste rif gaat er pas in bij 20 knoop. En dat is zalig.
