Our second boats, Quasimodo, has virtually arrived in Nelson.

Arriving on Sunday 9 Feb, just 10 calendar days after they set off from EBYMBC.

Here are some numbers:

• 10 calendar days
• 8 sailing days
• Average of 16.25Nm per day on the water
• 25.5Nm - furthest travelled in 1 day

Photo is of Quasimodo tied up virtually in Nelson (actually Half Moon Bay in Auckland) on Sunday evening.

And now the combined situation... The Club combined vessel is west of Auckland, Trailer Yacht Combined have made it around East Cape and are travelling across the Bay of Plenty, while the Keelboats appear to be becalmed off Riversdale Beach.
