Halo have jumped in and completed their virtual voyage to Nelson with the actual trip home from Nelson.  They are now chasing Bence and The Wasp down the east coast of the South Island, currently sitting off Cape Cambell.

As a Club we would have just completed our virtual circumnavigation of the North Island, but the skipper obviously changed his mind when Taranaki Maunga came into view and decided that we are now going for a trip around both islands instead to complete a Round NZ virtual voyage.

The Keelboat crew have now passed Mahia Peninsula and are almost at Gisborne, while the Trailer Yachts are  almost across the Bay of Plenty and sitting east of the Coromandel Peninsula.

We should have a few more individuals arriving in Nelson this week with three of them having less than 30Nm to go.
