Hi All,As you might have noticed our interest in updating the website has been diminishing since we got to Fiji. The reason of this is that we are expecting twins; and with Gaby being the main publisher and also suffering from first trimester sickness the updates have been non existent. All is well and Gaby is now in Italy being taken care of by my dad (or viceversa... not sure). Despite our initial wish to sail to New Zealand together and have our babies born there we finally decided to go back to Europe and have our families enjoy the new arrivals. Then we will fly back to Pointzero with the augmented crew.

At the moment Pointzero is in Malolo Island, Fiji, being prepared for the sail South to New Zealand, where she will rest for a few months in Opua. The bottom has been wiped clean and all seem ready. On Friday we will clear Customs and depart on Saturday together with other boats. The weather looks good, for the first few days with a low developing over New Zealand for the end of our trip. Hopefully it won't bring too much cold, rain, wind and waves; all being unwelcome components of the weather in the cruiser's dictionary.
