Family back together!

Sorry for the long lag once again. It has been an eventful and busy last couple of weeks, but the short version: Successful sail to New Zealand! Whirlwind tour of NZ with dad. Re-provision, get organized and out of the marina.
Today is our first day together without visitors in the last three weeks and it is wonderful to finally have everyone home. This morning we woke up at anchor in a peaceful nook in the Bay of Islands in the north of New Zealand. The Bay of Islands is considered to be one of the best cruising areas in the world (by the NZ-landers of course) and is similar to the San Juans with wooded islands, rocky coves, and large tides uncovering long stretches of beaches. Everyone is looking forward to slowing down, exploring, hiking, fishing and just relaxing for a while.
