Brett Sutherland 3 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Hi I'm kiwi Brett, I'm 54 years old and have around 30,000 sea miles sailing under my belt. I also built my own sailing catamaran in Brazil and lived on it for years working in the marine industry. I'm very keen to go home to NZ and can offer my experience to help deliver a yacht of any kind. Currently in NSW,Australia. E mail me bonecarver@yahoo.com 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm also keen to get back to NZ and have had no luck with the quarantine hotel lottery. I'm much less experienced than you both in years and in sailing, having just done a 'crewing' course at the local yacht club. I will drop you an email if I find a yacht that needs crew or manage to win the lotto and buy one myself. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brett Sutherland 3 Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Hi, I just got an miq spot. I was successful and only logged into the virtual room 3 minutes before the room release started, so try that. I've heard of success by others now who did the same. I was 717th in line. Previously last time I logged in one hour before and was 11,729th in line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean congratulations I have been to all 7 lotteries, generally join the lobby between 5 and 1 minute, and have not placed. The evidence suggests it's truly random.

Brett Sutherland 3 Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Wow that really does suck. I'm sorry to hear your predicament. Just keep trying I guess. Go to the fb group 'Trans-tasman Transits' some possibilities are there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
