Vinaka vakalevu for all your messages of warm wishes, and prayers that continue to pour in from friends and family. As much as we would like to reply to each of your messages, our limited (and expensive) communication technology on board the Uto ni Yalo doesn't really offer this luxury.

So every now and then, Skipper would read your kind words of encouragement, which would be greeted with a Kaila! Below are some recent messages we would like to share with you.

Are you with the team in Auckland BTW? Just checking when they set sail from Akl as I just returned from Fj this week but have not visited yet. I guess they are still in Mangere Marae and might stop by there this evening.
Let me know if you are with the team.
