Steve Horne sailing solo on his Farr 9.2; Cloud 9, is attempting to circumnavigate New Zealand over about 4 months. This blog has been set up so that Steve can update friends and family of his progress and so we can also share in his experiences. Cell phone coverage will be patchy and when Steve [...]

is able he will send images and more detail. While sailing we’ll try to update the blog with a daily position fix on google earth via satphone. If there are no updates, don’t call the coastguard saying that we’ve lost Steve, It will probably be due to technology or our ability to master it. If we don’t get any updates while Steve’s ashore; he’s probably enjoying himself too much. Blog comments are welcomed (and moderated) and the email address for any other stuff is nzcloudnine@gmail.com. Mike Elliott
