Mistress arrived safely in Auckland on Tuesday afternoon after a easy passage from Vava'u Tonga. It was very special watching the sunrise above Great Barrier Island as we sailed in flat waters in a gentle breeze off the Hen & Chicken Islands. It really felt as if Mistress had arrived in her new home!
I will send one more blog update about our time in Vava'u which was fantastic, but in the meantime I wanted to share with you a few of the key numbers that have emerged from the last 5 months of sailing Mistress across the Pacific
Cheers
Mistress Crew
