Pau Hana has arrived in New Zealand!
12 months, 12,000 miles, 11 countries!
Our last leg from Fiji was our most challenging. We sailed hard upwind for over 700 miles, then burned most of our fuel motoring 300 miles, and then faced strong headwinds and steep waves for the final 100 miles. We broke more gear on this leg than on our entire trip prior.
We cleared customs last night and slept well. It is spring in NZ, so rather cool. Our road bikes are being delivered to the marina today. Perfect timing!

Whew! I knew that last part was going to be uphill. I think all of us here are glad you're safely in port. Congratulations on an adventure well executed!
