Well well - you escaped NZ still owing me a drink (or 2) We will track you down in some far off land and demand the debt be paid. We will nail a 'writ' to your mast & prevent you leaving port - unless we come as well!. In the meantime it is great to follow your progress & enjoy 'armchair sailing'. Our close regards, Corran & Clare
