Greetings from Aotearoa (or New Zealand as Captain Cook named it) here in the sunny Pacific.
Trivia fact for the day. Aoteara is the local Maori name for New Zealand and roughly translates to the land of the long white cloud, a reference to what one can often see when sailing upto NZ from afar, a long strip of clouds, caused by the impact of being a long thin mountainous country poking up in the middle of the ocean.
Anyway, nice to be aboard.
