    How silly not to be able to add to one's message anymore! Grrr! :mad:

    Was just going to say, Floss, NZ would be great. As long as we can go on the Shotover Jet when the Rugby's finished. :T

    OK chaps - passage plan so far is. UK across the channel to the coast of France with a few stopovers to pick up adequate grog supplies. A nip across the Bay of Biscay to northern Spain - down the coast to Portugal across to North Africa and then on down to the Canaries - poodle round there while we get the weather reports and then across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. Load more rum and supplies spend a few weeks there ( just to get acclimatised) down to Panama & through the canal. Down to the Galapagos then across the Pacific via Easter Island and anywhere else that takes our fancy and thence to New Zealand - ok so far????
