Liz's Version

What a trip we had last night !!! Sailed 100 miles from the Laus to Frigits Pass - never imagined myself doing a major crossing like this.
Genuinely challenging stuff - read Gollas blog. The 2 little boys cuddled up together giving each other comfort and support - so,so sweet.
This has been an amazing experience but didn't realise what I was actually in for. - I imagined something like the Greek or Turkey Islands.
Haven't seen a shop or market so far - but we spotted a surf resort and will be going out for dinner hopefully tomorrow late afternoon.
Just a few tips for your trip.
I brought Pronutro (original) and he just loves it but has already consumed the lot.
The weather is not that warm and a tracksuit top would be a good idea.
Then don't even think of bringing any kind of food - in Auckland , I was standing in the background watching this beagle dog with thin long lead moving between the luggage when before I knew it she , the handler ordered me to put my biggish handbag on the floor for the dog to stick his nose in it.
Jacques declared his 1 packet of biltong , vacuum packed from Woolworths - they wouldn't even let him eat it in front of them.
Looking forward to our next few days.
Love from Liz
