We took some lucky students out with the Eat My Lunch crew and this is some feedback we got -
"'Dear Spirit Adventure trust and Eat My Lunch people
It was a great adventure indeed and we all loved it, I enjoyed having the chance to help pull up the sails and help the boat get out to the sea. The food from Eat My Lunch was amazing and it was really nice to have such a great morning tea. The views from the harbour were amazing and will last forever.
The whole trip was a fantastic adventure and I hope I can do it again"
"Thank you for the opportunity to go onto the Spirit of Adventure boat and giving me the privilege to help with the sails and experience what’s it is like to manage a boat. The lunch provided by Eat My Lunch was very nice to have, I really enjoyed it. It was a great experience and wish to be able to do it again. Thank you :)
Ashley"

Message from our CEO - While the country is currently experiencing some adverse weather conditions, Spirit of New Zealand is enjoying a relatively pleasant motor sail in a 12 knot breeze.
Tonight (Thursday) the ship is expecting to anchor in Mimiwhangata Bay overnight, north of Tutukaka which will see it well sheltered from the expected south westerly winds.
The thinking is then to get around to the Bay of Islands possibly Friday or Saturday.
With winds expected to stay in the westerly quarter for the next day or two, the Spirit of New Zealand is well positioned in the lee of the land to handle the effects of the current adverse weather - Dean Lawerence

Regarding the adverse weather that is currently being reported for much of the country; Spirit of New Zealand is fine and well enjoying the beauty of Kawau Bay.
