Sailing is not about getting somewhere fast. It’s about enjoying the journey on sea waves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274932517551878927.post-16171062221129725592011-05-21T18:41:33.440-07:002011-05-21T18:41:33.440-07:00We look forward to ground-truthing that claim, Ano...We look forward to ground-truthing that claim, Anonymous Kiwi! I suggest a measure of grog to help verify results after we measure the sand spit. By the time we get there a powerful thirst will be upon us. Can't wait to see your part of the world under sail in a mighty Dana. -K&JKaren Sullivan and Jim Heumannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773839137613871820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274932517551878927.post-65929087971231032472011-05-16T22:16:33.544-07:002011-05-16T22:16:33.544-07:00Hi Karen & Jim,

We have Farewell Spit, which not only was named by Captain Cook, but is 21.8 miles long, or 22.5 when the tide is out! Now that's what you call a sand spit! You will be pleased to know that it is quite close to Marlborough Sound, some of the best coastal cruising in the World.Osama can keep his 40 virgins, puddling round the sounds in a Dana 24 is my idea of paradise!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
