Photo kindly donated. You may recall that back on 10 April I posted a photo of the fv Ki-Lin and I noted that it was the last of the tuna boats leaving. Some of you commented on the enormity of the trip back to her home port at Whitianga. Now, thanks to photos sent to me by Lindsay and Heather Arthur, I am able to show Ki-Lin on the final stretch as she came into Whitianga on Tuesday after a journey of twelve days.

Wow safely home, awesome👌.. have had some terrible weather on the East Coast, my daughter lives in Whitianga and they had shocking weather there last week.
Yep. Recall your post. Happy to see she arrived safely. Will need to get my charts out to figure distance. Unless you do it Bob.
Is that 11 days straight steaming ,or stopping off at ports on the way?
