Home stretch

7 am Sunday Nov 7
 
After a partially bumpy night, the seas have once again settled down for our last 12 hours to Auckland.   We are running down the east coast of New Zealand about 40 nm off shore.    Every new landfall brings excitement, relief, and a sense of satisfaction, but today includes a lot of mixed emotions.  
 
Over 7 months ago we left Puerto Vallarta on a grand adventure.   By the time we tie up this evening, we will have logged over 8000 nautical miles, crossed an ocean, and had experiences we could not have even dreamed of.    In the next weeks we will take time to reflect back on this year, but one thing is certain - the dream lives on.    Stay tuned .......
