Vuda, Fiji, to Opua, New Zealand

Happy Spirit II

What a voyage! Drive belt failure leading to alternator failure and eventually Engine failure, generator failure, flooding of the forward cabin, switch failure of the furling winch, contrary winds, light airs and eventually a gale from astern (thank heavens) to blow us into the Bay of Islands. Phew, what a passage.
