We say goodbye to New Zealand and all our wonderful friends here today. Customs is coming down to the boat to do the final check out at 11:45 and we set sail for Chile at noon! This morning we have taken a few moments to write one final update from land before setting sail, but as soon as we are done here we have a busy morning making last minute preparations and running last minute errands. After the last week of rain we finally got a bright sunny day, and it could not have come at a better time!! It makes leaving land easier when you aren't already wet!
When we leave here we are aiming to get to Puerto Williams, Chile, the southern most town in the world. We are hoping to make landfall in 45 days, but that is all weather dependent. We made our final stores run yesterday and got all the fresh food we will take, lots of potatoes and onions! We would like to Thanks everyone here in New Zealand for all the support and help that we have received over the past few weeks and months that our boat has been down here. We will see you all again in the near future!!
keep checking the blog while we are away from land because my parents have generously offered to post updates from us whenever they hear anything.
Best of luck with your adventure. We will be racing your updates as we continue to gain experience sailing on the San Francisco Bay. John and Susan Hahn
