December 3, 2013! (Yes, this December, right now)
Now that we’ve arrived in New Zealand and gotten settled after finishing our passage from Fiji, I am faced with an odd position of having to write Good-bye Opua posts (from 2012) when we have just arrived in Opua, which feels really stupid. After sitting with this, I’ve decided I’m just going to go ahead and do it anyway, picking up where I left off.
While I’m here in real-time, I’ll say this about the passage. The first 6 days were mostly wonderful. Things got uncomfortable on Day 7. Day 8 totally sucked. We will spend the next six months in New Zealand working to forget Day 8 so we will be naively optimistic enough to go out on passage again next May.
Now, back to getting those posts done.–Cyndi
