good god there are heaps of rainbows in new zealand. i will miss you new zealand.

just another day at the office.

sunrise at sea on my first ever sail. we went from whangarei to auckland, new zealand.

i'm a sailor now?!

you may be asking yourself, how does someone just become a "sailor" all of a sudden. well, allow me to explain. for me it was simple. i met this dude, a fellow hitchhiker. he told me about how he had sailed from tahiti to new zealand. there's this web site he tells me, findacrew.com, where captains are looking for crew for upcoming voyages. a few months later i find one such captain on his way to fiji and like that i become a student of sailing on a boat bound for fiji and warmer waters.
