Noel and I are hoping for NZ, the winds are a bit lighter than I would have expected, so had better get back on the bike and shed a few kilos.

We wont be able to do Croatia though, which is a shame. I've sailed out of Split, amazing place, great food and lovely people, when you get to know them

Cheers John,

P.s. so where and when are our nats anyway?
