NZ to Tasmania crossing- on Volendam

---

Hi everyone,

we are out in the middle of the ocean between NZ and Tasmania. Cruising at 20knots. A little rough, my chair keeps rolling away from the desk and the desk keeps tilting.

Yesterday was amazing, Dusky Sounds, Doubtful Sounds and the Milford sounds, some of the landscape we could have almost touched from the side of the ships. The two beautiful waterfalls were spectacular, the Capt turned the ship in a 360deg circle so all sides could see everything. The tops of the mountains still had snow on them and no doubt by the time we get back there will be more snow on them.

Met an amazing Canadian couple at lunch today and they have cruised many times over the past 20 years, love NZ so much they rented a house for 2months Feb/Mar in Havelock North for 6years. Think NZ similar to Vancouver Island where they live, how funny is that such a huge country and they too live on the Island.

Not sure what will be open tomorrow as it is Good Friday, we might get time to load photo's down to blog, hope so.

Till next time,

Lots of love Gail & the Devonport Gang
