Tomorrow is the big day

Wow - tomorrow is the big day!

Today we had the essential liquid lunch at Mac's Brewery to say farewell to our High Commission friends/colleagues - thanks to those that were able to attend, it was great to see you there! Some of the crazy buggers have even said they will be at the boat by 0600 hrs to do the final farewell, and watch the boat slip the moorings as they wave their blue chux cloths ... one of these days I'll get the story behind this (Navy?) tradition :-)

Once Catana has set sail then Tania shall set off with the boys on a 10hr drive to Auckland, then that will be it for the Delgado's in Wellington :-(

Thanks to everyone who has helped us in our preparations for our big trip, many hands do make light work, and we appreciate all the assistance we have received.

Don't forget to watch this space as Catana travels along ...
