With the VISA under our belt, it feels a bit easier to plan ahead, and with a full year to look forward to we are ready to make some decisions. We've completed our circumnavigation of the South Island (YAY), and we've sailed around most of the North Island (just that pesky southeastern coast to tackle), so we aren't feeling the pull to explore new places. We've decided to settle in and take advantage of some of the things that landlubbers take for granted.
