Hey! Another blog already? Yes we're trying to do it whilst we remember! We arrived on the South Island on Sunday afternoon. Our first destination was Kaikoura.

We quietly and slowly walked down to the beach, there was alot of babies playing in the ocean and most of the adults were snoozing. There w...

We set off about lunchtime, the weather was looking good, it had been raining everday for the past week, bit windy but that was good for sailing.
