With Te Aurere still in Tahiti after the epic voyage last August-December to Rapanui (Easter Island) Arawai's sailings from the Maritime Museum in Auckland are still suspended. The progress of the waka for its return to Aotearoa can be watched on http://www.wakatapu.com and teaurere.org.nz/WakaTracker.html

Hi Julian
Please can you pass on our sincere thanks to the captain and crew for the fabulous sail on Te Aurere.
We all absolutely loved it and students mentioned it as a highlight.
We have a few photos enclosed to remind you what a gorgeous day and sail it was.
Have a great weekend and we look forward to working with you again.
Cate and all the MADsters

Tha sail to Waitangi on 4/5th February was quite a busy trip for the crew so the photo record is sparse. Typicaly this trip can take around 24 hours but was completed in this case in 19 hours. The sail track took the waka inside the Hen and Chickens on the way up to Waitangi and outside on the way back - a more relaxed trip with more photos :-). The waka crews were based near Haruru Falls with the waka taua leaving from there for the celebrations at Waitangi

The Volvo Race yachts arrived in Auckland for an abbreviated stopover returning after a ten year gap. No filming was allowed of the arrival of the leader on the leg from Xhina, Groupama, but the album contains photyos of the arrival of the remaining five yachts on 11th March and departure on the 18th. Te Aurere formed up with Aotearoa One at the entrance to the Viaduct Basin, right next to the finish line to welcome the yachts with putatara. Te Aurere was in the same position for the depature which saw some exciting "match racing" style sailing as the yatchs did a circuit between the Harbour Bridge and North Head and back to the Harbour Bridge before setting off for the Southern Ocean.
